Thank you to Claire at A Little Something in the Meantime, she told me about these boxes that can be found at Jysk, a Canadian store similar to Ikea. They are fairly inexpensive and very lightweight.
I stained them with Minwax’s special walnut, a little haphazardly as I didn’t want them to look too uniform.
I cut out black vinyl on my cricut and applied that rather than painting them in. As before, I don’t have a way to hang them but I’m working on an idea ;)
I hope you are enjoying your weekend!

Oh! Love those!! :)
ReplyDeleteHoly Cow Mel! Those are amazing! They look especially nice as a set. Did you make up the virtue for each one? Or did you look those up somewhere? And is there something significant about the Scarborough Seed Company? I really love those boxes, they have so much character. I'm sure they'll look really nice wherever you put them. And thanks for the source!

Okay, wait, back up. I should have read your original knockoff post first! I see that the virtues and seed company name were part of the original knockoff. Got it! Great job!

Love those crates, I might have to stop in at JYSK soon!
ReplyDeleteThese look fabulous, Mel! I was so surprised to see my blog mentioned (I've kind of fallen off the face of the blogging planet for over a month - teaching full time again) while I was reading your post :) Great idea for using the Jysk boxes! I've always loved TLC's original boxes, and now thanks to you I have the means to make my own at my fingertips!
ReplyDeleteI love that they have an Ontario reference, even if it's just a coincidence!
Very cute! I really like the stain on them and you did a great job on the graphics. I may have to hit Ikea and see if they have something similar.
ReplyDeleteHave a great day!

Adore! Hey Mel, do you sell those stickers? I have no idea what a cricut is but I would love to have this look.
ReplyDeleteLet me know!
Very cute!
ReplyDeleteThese are awesome!!! I will be featuring them a little later today :)
ReplyDeletethese are terrific1 The staining makes the wood so much prettier! Wish there was a Jysk near our home... :(

Please email me @ ohiocropper@yahoo.com if possible. My daughter's name is SAGE! I'd love to pay you to make or find out how to make one that says SAGE and our last name as the company! Thank you so much. SUCH A WONDERFUL IDEA
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely inspiring. I now NEED a cricut. Can you tell me which lettering you used as it is the perfect font. I'm losing my vision and can no long cut my own stencils. My creativity needs a boost and your post is exactly what I want.
