My mom also used these beer crates for shelves when she was young. So they've had all kinds of colors through the years. Originally they were green and yellow Carlsberg beer crates :)

Description

My mom also used these beer crates for shelves when she was young. So they've had all kinds of colors through the years. Originally they were green and yellow Carlsberg beer crates :)

Instructions

  1. Small 10178

    Use a wire brush, soap and water to get loose painting and dirt off. Let the wood dry for a couple of days.

  2. Small 10179

    Paint the crates with white paint. I used some relatively cheap acrylic paint.. and two layers to get it to cover entirely. Let it dry... do the other crates. Put them on top of each other.. et voila! Shelves!
