Finding Crates
Wooden crates are much more readily available than you might think!
Theyre at craft stores, although typically in limited sizes.
Home Depot has them.
There are also great sites likeCrates & Palletthat offer them in a ton of sizes.
Keep your eyes out on your local Facebook marketplace or ask on Nextdoor as well.
Preparing Your Surface
A wood crate is exactly that wood!
Most of the time its unfinished.
Basically youre just trying to remove all the dust.
That includes new crates as well.
If you see any portion of your crate that is lose, use wood glue to secure it.
you might also sand the surface with a medium grit sandpaper to remove any splinters or rough surface.
Brush away any dust.
Now paint and Mod Podge will stick nicely to the wood.
If the wood isnt absorbing the paint, it might be treated and you might need to sand it.
Most acrylic products will work on wood.
I personally like FolkArt chalk paint and Delta multi-surface paint for my projects.
