Easy Rolling Crate Storage

Organizing

Share it with others!

We have limited storage in our place and I needed to find a way to store our blankets. I found just how to do it using wooden crates!

They sell these crates everywhere, and mine came from Walmart.

I decided to lightly sand the crate since we’d be storing blankets in them and our hands would be reaching in and out of them.

I went to Home Depot and grabbed some wheels and screws. The longer screws would be doing in 3 of the 4 holes and the smaller screw would go in the last hole.

*High in site, I would have bought the wood crates with the extra wood in the 4 corners so that I could have used the same sized screw in all of the holes.

I started by drilling a pilot hold in first where all of the screws would go. This would prevent the wood from splitting when I placed the screws in. I then screwed in the screws in all 4 holes of all the wheels.

Here’s the completed rolling crate.

I placed my blankets in the crate and wheeled it under our side table.

    This is a great idea Chas. I know I love those smaller blankets and have many of them around my house. I’m lucky that I have my mother’s cedar chest to store blankets but this is a great idea for anyone who doesn’t have something like that.

      Thank you so much Linda. You can never have too many blankets right? We have such limited space at our condo that I just had to come up with something that would conserve and serve a purpose we needed ๐Ÿ™‚

    This is a brilliant idea! I may have to put this idea to use soon, although I have a feeling my 18 month old would have a little too much fun with these… Thanks for sharing at Sweet Inspiration!
