Keep it sweet and simple when it comes to keeping your toddler’s bedroom tidy. This toy box created out of a wooden crate is a clever idea for storing toys and books – and it looks great too.
Top tip: For extra sparkle use Resene FX Metallic testpots. Or use Resene FX Nightlight with a star design for a glow-in-the-dark feature.
You will need:
- Small wooden crate
- Masking tape
- Pencil and ruler
- Roller and tray
- Artist brush and testpot brush
- Castors
- Liquid nails
- Resene testpots in your choice of colours: we used Resene Alabaster, Resene Bellbottom Blue, Resene Blackout, Resene Pretty in Pink and Resene Spotlight.
Step-by-step instructions
Step 1 – Mark out where you’ll be placing the stripes with the pencil and ruler and then mask out with the tape.
Step 2 – Roll over the crate with Resene Alabaster, remove the tape and leave to dry.
Step 3 – With the artist brush, randomly paint circles using the other Resene testpot colours. Leave to dry.
Step 4 – Attach the castors to the bottom of the box with liquid nails. Fill with the kids’ toys, books and other things that tend to clutter up the floor.
