Thank you to Claire at A Little Something in the Meantime, she told me about these boxes that can be found at Jysk, a Canadian store similar to Ikea. They are fairly inexpensive and very lightweight.
I stained them with Minwax’s special walnut, a little haphazardly as I didn’t want them to look too uniform.
I cut out black vinyl on my cricut and applied that rather than painting them in. As before, I don’t have a way to hang them but I’m working on an idea ;)
I hope you are enjoying your weekend!

Oh! Love those!! :)
ReplyDeleteHoly Cow Mel! Those are amazing! They look especially nice as a set. Did you make up the virtue for each one? Or did you look those up somewhere? And is there something significant about the Scarborough Seed Company? I really love those boxes, they have so much character. I'm sure they'll look really nice wherever you put them. And thanks for the source!

Okay, wait, back up. I should have read your original knockoff post first! I see that the virtues and seed company name were part of the original knockoff. Got it! Great job!

Love those crates, I might have to stop in at JYSK soon!
ReplyDeleteThese look fabulous, Mel! I was so surprised to see my blog mentioned (I've kind of fallen off the face of the blogging planet for over a month - teaching full time again) while I was reading your post :) Great idea for using the Jysk boxes! I've always loved TLC's original boxes, and now thanks to you I have the means to make my own at my fingertips!
ReplyDeleteI love that they have an Ontario reference, even if it's just a coincidence!
Very cute! I really like the stain on them and you did a great job on the graphics. I may have to hit Ikea and see if they have something similar.
ReplyDeleteHave a great day!

Adore! Hey Mel, do you sell those stickers? I have no idea what a cricut is but I would love to have this look.
ReplyDeleteLet me know!
Very cute!
ReplyDeleteThese are awesome!!! I will be featuring them a little later today :)
