Keep it sweet and simple when it comes to keeping your toddler’s bedroom tidy. This toy box created out of a wooden crate is a clever idea for storing toys and books – and it looks great, too.
You will need: Small wooden crate, masking tape, pencil and ruler, roller and tray, artist brush and testpot brush, castors, liquid nails, Resene testpots in your choice of colours: we used Resene Alabaster, Resene Bellbottom Blue, Resene Blackout, Resene Pretty in Pink and Resene Spotlight.
Top tip: For extra sparkle use Resene FX Metallic testpots. Or use Resene FX Nightlight with a star design for a glow in the dark feature.
Step by step instructions
Step one
Mark out where you’ll be placing the stripes with the pencil and ruler and then mask out with the tape.
Step three
With the artist brush, randomly paint circles using the other Resene testpot colours. Leave to dry.
Step four
Fill with the kids’ toys, books and other things that tend to clutter up the floor.
