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.
