Materials:
*2 yards of fabric (dark colors will hide dirt)
*3 sturdy crates (I found out local grocery stores or gas stations will donate some to you)
*1.5in plywood (cut to the length of your bench/Home Depot will cut it for you if you ask nicely!)
*A staple gun
*A glue gun
*Foam, old chair cushions, or some type of fluff for the bench
*(6 of each) 1.5 inch hex bolts, 5/16 in diameter, 5/16 nuts and fender washers that would span the diameter of the crate
I took pictures through every step to help out anyone interested in making a crate bench! I hope this makes sense. Please let me know if you have any questions! :)
SO if you'd like to try making one of these, here are the steps you can take...
I hope you like them! I will let you all know how they last! :)
Don't forget! You can't miss the TPT sale (it's actually August 4-5th)!! My whole store is on sale!

I would LOVE to make these but am not sure if I can find sturdy enough ones for middle school kids! But maybe if I ask for true milk crates from the grocery store....

ReplyDeleteI love how it turned out! I need to redo the fabric on mine. I haven learned to do everything in super dark color because goodness knows the dirt is gonna show!!

Super cool idea! I'm in the process of making crate seats too! Wish I had seen your post before! Maybe I'll do both! I'll add a bench to my list and see what happens!
