Glamorize an old wine crate or wooden box by adding shelves and a gilded frame. Finish with paint and it’s ready for storing pretty toiletries or displaying an interesting collection.

Step 1: Remove the back of an old wine crate or wooden box.

Step 2: Make shelves to fit inside the box, then add a bit of glamour by fastening a gilded frame onto the front of the unit.

Step 3: For an antique finish, spray-paint with Krylon Crystal Color.

Step 4: Buy a picture-hanging kit that includes hooks that can be attached to the back of the shelves. Make sure they can hold at least 50 to 100 pounds.

I have’t done this yet, but I am wanting to try it! What do ya’ll think? It looks amazing and it’s SUPER EASY TO MAKE, just follow 3 simple steps!!

Supplies needed:
•Quart sized mason jar with lid (I used a mixture of new and old jars from the 70′s)
•Black and white 4×6 picture trimmed to fit. (I printed mine at my local Walgreens)
•Vegetable oil
•Dried flowers (optional)

Steps:
1.) Insert your picture into the mason jar and pour enough vegetable oil to cover completely.
2.) Put some dried flowers on the opposite side of the picture. I chose lavender, essential oil anyone? Yum, it smelled good!
3.) Tighten the lid up and it’s done! The vegetable oil will suspend the picture inside the jar without penetrating it, causing it to look aged and slightly transparent. A total vintage look of old yellowed pictures from the past.
