Copper

Wooden Crates

SOURCE

Find several of the same kind of wood crates. They don’t have to be the same size but they should all be the same depth. Dust off your old Tetris skills to arrange them in a fun and unique way. Once you’re happy, take a picture for later. If you’re going to paint, now is the time! Once completely dry, put them back into place and screw them together. Add little stools or coffee table legs to the ends to prop it up or just let it sit on the ground. VOILÀ!

Make sure you put your plant babies in an area with a lot of sunlight and enjoy your brand new greenery storage solution!
