Thanks so much for including my footstool on this post of really cool projects!!! There are some great ideas here – I need to snag some more soda crates!
Pinning this post. 🙂
I have an old Pepsi crate that I’ve been hanging on to. Not sure how to date it or what they’re worth.
If you can find some comparable ones online, you can kind of assess the date. They sell for a lot, depending on the condition!
I use my old soda crate for kindling wood next to our fireplace. They’re great!
I have repurposed an old soda crate to use on my porch for holding small garden scissors, pliers, and other small tool. I repurpose old patio umbrellas for veggie stakes, but love the idea for using an intact one for a garden trellis. Many, many good ideas here, I will be coming back. I just hate throwing things away that might have another life. Thanks.
I have an old local soda case that I am fixing up for a friend. It was her Dad’s. Not much of a bottom to the case. Great sides and the printing on all 4 sides is great. I am thinking of just hanging it on her basement wall. I would like to makt it special. Any suggestions?
Could you rebuild the bottom? Or use it as a frame?
I use mine as a bracelet holder. It’s set up on its side with all the compartments full. Love it,?
