“C” is for Containers

November 16, 2010

Container, bin, vessel, box – whatever you want to call it. 
THE TRUG 

I had so many random scrap wood pieces from the pallet projects that I wanted to use up so I created this:
And then I added some jute for a softer handle:
I just wrapped it around and tucked it in with a needle:
Now for some decorating:
But I didn’t make just one bin, I had lots and lots of scrap pieces to use so I made this:
THE SQUARE
And this:
THE TRAY
And this:
THE RECTANGLE

These are the scraps I started with:
I made a simple box and drilled holes in the sides for rope handles:
Just pull the rope through and knot it:
A view from above:
As usual I had some magazine inspiration:
Wooden Crate Modular Home Office Storage
image from Pottery Barn
But I was thinking about centerpieces, arrangements and getting ready for Thanksgiving:
THE RECTANGLE
THE SQUARE
THE TRAY
Ready to bake?

The possibilities are endless, different sizes, heights, handles,
no handles, should I stencil some with numbers? or letters?
Still my favorite.
THE TRUG

    Now you've got me inspired to make boxes and add rope to them…I love boxes!!! Gosh, I've got wood tucked away, I think I can, I think I can…make boxes. Visit Mel's Cabin for a sip of coffee when you're in the neighborhood.
