CRATE BENCH HACK DIY CRATE FURNITURE

Important Notes:
The bench is 13in in height and 3ft in length. As I stated in the video, you can always get more benches, use a thicker/longer board, buy a board made from real wood etc. This is totally customizable!
Products Used:
2 Unfinished Wood Crates
Make sure you use a coupon with them to get them for a cheaper price! Jo-Ann Fabrics has coupons available direct from the site and in their app. If you wait til they have a 60% off coupon, you can get the crates for $5.20 each.
www.joann.com/wood-crate/81607...
White Shelving Board (3ft long)
*From Menards. It's 11 3/4 x 3ft I can't find the exact one I got online. You can find boards like these at other hardware stores.
Rust-Oleum Flat White Spray Paint
*Purchased mine at Menards but you can find this pretty much anywhere spray paint is sold. bit.ly/2G1fHRP
Gorilla Wood Glue
*Optional of course! I didn't use this but if you want the board not to move around, use wood glue as an easy adhesive. You can always nail, screw etc but for those of you who don't want the hassle or don't own the proper tools, wood glue will do. bit.ly/2n0Ptad

    Such an awesome project! I'm thinking of flipping the crates so the openings are upwards, putting the board on them with hinges and it's a coffee table with storage!!! Or even attaching like a back to it for the kids to sit on to watch t.v.! Maybe a couple cute pillows on it

    Before we went out yesterday I just saw the beginning of your video so when I got to Micheal's I snatched up 2 crates and my hubby asked me what I was going to build? I said, "A bench that Bethany did a DIY on", so now that I have watched the whole video I'm ready to get started . But I'll be needing to get the top board and the wood glue. Thank you for this video, you are amazing.

The only place in my house that gets good not shaded natural light is my bathroom. So most of the time what you guys are seeing is white throws I put on the ground and thrn me just arranging things around in this corner in my bathroom lol. 😁 Natural light is the best light for filming!
