I’m so sorry if something else is posted something similar or if I’m not following the protocol as well as as of course I would like to. 

I just have a question that I would like some input and inspiration on. I’ve taken somewhere between 5 to 7 wooden crates that are about shoebox box size, ideally and originally as organizers, but then I have now painted them all in chalkboard paint and each of them has a small brass metal piece on the front as an opportunity for labeling. I was wondering if anyone had any ideas in particular about cool things I could either do with them to them or repurpose them? The first answer I’ve been getting is to use them to help organize however that then turns into just a bunch of bins organizing, rather van what sort of turned into a chalkboard cacophony of bins that are both fun and helpful, but I don’t necessarily feel like that was the complete story for what the next steps could be or how I could pivot this process

I'm not sure exactly what you want your end result to be with these, but I had some ideas and I thought I'd share them with you.

You have some boxes made out of wood. They don't always have to stay boxes. They can be pulled apart and create different things with them.

  1. You could create a small fence... by painting them all white they could line a pathway or they could put a perimeter around your yard. And you could string them together with yarn or wire..

  2. You could create a small indoor or outdoor table. Look online for one that you like- that inspires you and get some nails and a hammer or some glue..

  3. You could create signs with them - like for a wedding.. things like 'reception this way' or ' Beach wedding' with a pointing arrow...

    I could probably come up with a few more ideas but you get it I'm sure.. just think outside the box (pun intended) lol 😆
