This simple DIY projectcan be completed in three easy steps and in about five hours, excluding drying time.
The list of materials needed for this DIY project are:
- Eight old wooden fruit crates.
- A bucket of white acrylic paint, masking paper or film for covering the painting area.
- Three 16 T10 torx flat-head chipboard screws.
You will require the following tools:
- A multi-sander with a five-piece sanding sheet set for multi-sanders.
- A 3000-2 fine-spray system and a cordless screwdriver.
Step 1:
To begin with, sand the fruit crates lightly using the multi-sander and five-piece sanding sheet set. This will remove any extraneous material on the wood and prepare the surface for the paint application.
Step 2:
Paint the fruit crates inside and outside with at least two coats of white acrylic paint, using the fine-spray system. Leave the paint to dry thoroughly. Remember to cover the painting area beforehand with masking paper or film in order to prevent any accidental paint spillages.
Step 3:
Stack the fruit crates in a design of your choice, making sure they are balanced properly. Then join them together securely with the three 16 T10 torx flat-head chipboard screws, using the cordless screwdriver.
Your room divider and shelf in one is now ready for decorating, and will soon become the focal point of your living area!
