Step 1: Measure the length of the two crates sitting side by side and cut two pieces of your 2 by 4 at that length. This will be your supporting piece that holds your ottoman together.
Step 2: Measure and cut the plywood the dimensions of the top of the crates side by side.
Step 3: Paint your crates and 2 by 4 pieces with Americana Decor Chalky Finish in Rustic.
Step 4 : Drill your wheels on with long enough screws to go through both the 2 by four piece and the crate. This will secure your crate together. Y
Step 5: Trace the plywood onto the foam.
Step 6: Cut your foam outline with scissors.
Step 7: Place your fabric, foam, and piece of plywood down. Pull the fabric tightly around and staple it on the back.
Step 8: Cut the excess fabric off with a pair of scissors.
Step 9: Drill the holes for the hinge of the ottoman.
Step 10: Screw your hinge onto the upholstered piece of wood and to the crates. Now you’ve completed your own DIY crate ottoman.
I hope you all enjoyed this project! This will look great in any of your home decor. I love that this is a functional piece for storing blankets, books, or anything you want at arms reach. Leave me a comment and tell me where you’d like to put your own DIY Crate Ottoman.
