Crate Style Gift Box or Storage Box

Hey everyone, today I’m sharing this very handy crate style gift box or storage box and it’s very easy to make!

This turned out so much better then I thought and can be used for so many things, I thought as a nice Christmas Eve box or some nice Christmas storage.

I distressed everything with some brown inks and added some rope for the handles which I think makes it look more authentic.

I love the big bow, the red truck and tree are lovely.
