Benefits of crafting with mini wood crates.
I must say that the mini wood crates from Dollar Tree are one of my favorite materials to work with. Whether you are using a single one to make a light box or purchasing several to make a centerpiece like this,
They are easy to paint, stain, seal, and drill into, so these mini crates will give you a great bang for your crafting buck.

Although I haven’t made a craft quite like this before, I have dabbled with creating decor like this Dollar Store Flower Crate Craft. I’m excited to use these boxes to create a table centerpiece that can be used for any season, holiday, and/or special occasion.
