You’ll Heart This DIY Ombre Heart Crate

This DIY ombre crate is the perfect storage solution for your tabletop needs! Use it to store bills, receipts, books, and more – easy to make and so cute.

I have this spot in my kitchen where we pile EVERYTHING – mail, magazines, half-eaten kid snacks, receipts, sunglasses. Do you have one of these spots!?

Well, it has been driving me crrrrrazy, so I decided to incorporate a storage solution to clean it up. I saw a blank crate on clearance at the store and immediately had a plan for this DIY Ombre Heart Crate, where I could throw (and hide) all our junk.

It is super easy to make and my kitchen looks soooo much better! Here is how I did it.
