How to make a seat out of a plastic crate

Plastic crates are popular in the storage industry, but they can also be used in home decoration, for example,many people are wondering: how to make a seat out of a plastic crate?

  • Flip your milk crate upside down and measure the top.
  • Cut your foam to fit the top of the crate.
  • Cut a piece of fabric to size, flip it over and place the foam on top.
  • Apply hot glue to the fabric and pull taut on two sides. Allow some time for the glue to dry and harden.
  • Fold in the other two sides like you’re wrapping a present and secure with glue. Again, let the glue harden before moving on to the next step.
  • Place the finished cushion on the top of the crate.
  • Wrap coordinating ribbon around the cushion and tie underneath the crate to secure the cushion in place. (And I added a little glue to the ribbon to keep it extra secure. You know, because 8-year-olds.) Voila! Instant seating!
