What you Need to Make a Patriotic Wooden Crate

One wooden crate (I bought mine here at JOANN.)

One package paper napkins

Tacky glue

This crate was very inexpensive to make. This is the perfect Fourth of July Flag Decor DIY project.

The first thing you need to do is measure the width of the wooden slats on the wooden crate. Mine measured 1 and 11/12th inches. So I cut enough strips of paper napkins to cover all of the slats.

Most paper napkins have two or three layers of paper. Remove all of the layers and just use the printed layer.

Place the tacky glue in a paper plate and mix with a bit of water to thin the glue. Brush the wooden slats and carefully place the paper napkins on the glue.

Continue until the entire crate is covered.

Don’t worry if it’s not perfect. Just try to replicate a fourth of July flag. You want the crate to look aged so “not perfect” is good.

Next, cover the entire paper areas with a thin layer of Tacky glue. Let dry.

Once the crate is dry, lightly sand the paper to create an aged look. You can also added a bit of white paint to make the color less intense.
