My "Crate" Storage Seat

After seeing all the cute storage crates on Pinterest- I had to have one six.  Of course they had to be red and I found this fabulous oilcloth at Joann's.  I used my coupon to offset the price.  I didn't buy the foam at Joann's too pricey.  Instead I went next door to Target and bought a twin egg crate for $14.99.  It was big enough to make 10 crates.
Supplies:

• 6 crates from Walmart
• Alphabet oil Cloth from Joann's
• Wood 1-inch plywood cut by the nice guys at Home Depot $4 (take a crate with you)
• Adhesive I didn't have spray adhesive so I used Alene's Tacky Glue (I already had it)  Just around the ends and in the middle to hold while you staple.
• Staple gun and hammer.  I had to hammer my staples in a bit 

1. Roll out foam and lay boards on top.  I traced with a sharpie.
2. Cut foam then glue to the plywood.  I left the smooth side up, glued bumpy side.  Let dry
3. Lay onto wrong side of cut fabric- I left about 4 inches all around.  
4. Fold up long sides and staple, then staple the ends like you'd wrap a gift.  Easier with two people, but I did it myself.
5. You can wrap and staple ribbon around the center for a handle or not- I chose not to.  They pop out easily enough for me.
