I found this sturdy little wood chalkboard crate box at Goodwill for just a few dollars and couldn’t pass it up. All it needed was a little paint. So I snatched it up took it home and got started on the little wooden chalkboard crate box makeover.
Diy Wooden Chalkboard Crate Box Makeover
After giving the little box a good cleaning, I taped off the chalkboard so I wouldn’t get paint on the chalkboard part of the wooden crate box.
Then using the dry brushing technique I added some turquoise colored acrylic paint on the outside part of the box.
Once the outside of the wooden box was dry.

It was time to draw a Chevron pattern on the sides of the wooden crate box.
Then using black acrylic paint I filled in the two Chevron stripes.
I am loving how the little wooden box turned out! Pretty cute, Huh!
Thinking that it need a little something else, I then added a little jute around the handle with a couple of wood hearts dangling off the ends.
Then off to the antique/craft mall it went, and it sold quickly.
Do you like how the wooden chalkboard crate box makeover with the Chevron stripes turned out? Or do you think it would look better without?
