One recommendation when using the wood to encase the crates: have the top be on top of the sides instead of hanging in between them. While you’re not putting a lot of weight on this, the top is still just relying upon the strength of the glue and nails. Having the top on top of the sides provides greater strength and transfers whatever load is placed on it down the sides. It’s simply a stronger joint. Cheers!
It took me longer than I care to admit to figure out what you meant. But yes, I agree it would definitely make it a bit stronger doing it the way you mentioned. Thank you for pointing that out because I definitely would have made the same mistake if I was making this.
@@jen7916 Yeah, it wasn't the clearest explanation. If you look at the video (beginning at 7:25), Bethany glues the side pieces to the top. She essentially sandwiches the top in between the two side. Doing it that way relies upon the strength of the glue and nails to hold up the shelf. What I'm saying is to attach the sides by gluing them underneath the top piece, that way the weight of whatever you place on the shelf is transferred down through the sides rather than trusting just the glue to hold it up. It's just a much stronger way to build it. Hope that makes it a little clearer.
I have a lot of bad luck with command strips so when she used them for the shelf above the crib i was like... i hope that doesnt fall on her baby. Lol
I definitely remember that crate from back in the day. I didn’t even realize I’ve been watching your channel so long, but I’m so glad I have! Love ALL of the crate variations!! Awesome DIY projects ALL THE TIME!!❤️💕
I remember that DIY and I've been watching for 5 years. I still go back and rewatch some of your videos. Especially, if I'm trying to DIY something myself and during the holidays I rewatch past Halloween and Christmas DIYs for inspiration 🙂
I've been with you, ever since, you created your "glam make up" organization and your crate shelf organizer. Years before you got engaged. Love ya. ❤️❤️❤️
The addition of the foam board or the wood is really a game changer. I’ve seen crates attached before but they look so much better with the addition of the foam board or the wood.
I remember you from your makeup tutorial days. And thank youuu for the ribbon organizer hack!! I have so much and I've been going nuts trying to store them all.
I started watching you when you did your original crate project! I have 2 towers of 3, spaced apart and a dowel/rod inserted in the top 2 crates, spanning the opening. I put pinch curtain/cafe hooks on the dowel and can hang small bags of miscellaneous craft items and small buckets below for paint brushes & larger bottles of paint that won't fit in the crates! I made it especially to fit a small window sill and it gave me so much storage and it's so close at hand!
Hi! I'm interested in the way your describing the crate unit that built,
but I'm having a hard time visualizing it.
Would you mind posting a couple of pictures? Thank you!!
@@robinmartin9840 Hi, I don't have any pics but if you make 2 towers of three stacked crates (I used zip ties to attach) I then took a dowel/rod, strung the cafe curtain style rings with the pinch clips. Then inserted it into the top row of holes in the crates to connect the 2 towers and pushed them apart to fit my space. It gives room to clip zip lock bags, and below on the ledge of my window I've put a few containers for paint brushes, stir sticks etc. I hope this helped!
I definitely remember this DIY and the one before that with the makeup vanity with mirrors and lights.
I think I started watching in 2017. I remember the first set of crate diys, Penny, wedding planning, and expecting Cooper. Needless to say, I'm a big fan!
Omg! Bethany, I remember when you did the crate organizer "back in the day!" 😀 I love this diy!
OG here! Was thinking the other day about that time you blindly clicked items on a website to order some clothes! 🤣 love seeing you flourish and become at ease on camera in store nowadays!
This was one of the first videos I ever watched! I still have one in my closet!
Oh wow! Thats awesome! Im so glad you made one and you still have it! Thanks for being a subscriber for so long!
Lol I do remember the original Crate storage I went wild and made one for every room I think my granddaughter just switched bedrooms in her house my son bought her a nice desk and we are making these to go up and around her desk you are a genius when it comes to these I’ve seen no one come up with better crate storage thank you God bless
I've been watching your channel for around 3 years now....I just love how creative you are!!!😊 I remember you showing your cube organizers in the past! I love the wood frame around your last cube organizer...so beautiful, that one is my favorite too! As always Bethany, thank you for sharing all of your hard work, creativity, talent and inspiration! Stay safe, healthy and positive! God bless you and your family!🙏❤️🇺🇸😊
I remember when you first made that. It’s beautiful. Love the hutch too. Thank you
YOU ARE VERY SPECIAL TO GOD praise God praying for everyone everyday God bless you all
OMG really need this 4 laundry room been watching you 4 awhile i made your vanity and i love it tfs sweetie so much talent bless you and your family
I remember this back in the day. You were the first DIY i had watched. Time sure does fly by fast
Yup I remember the crate storage from way back! Matter of fact I was thinking this is one of her old school DIYS! Still genius!
I'm an OG. I made two different iterations of your shelves. One I use as a plant stand and the other I use as a side table and book storage for my recliner and chaise! I love your new ideas
I'm an OG! I remember the mini crates you did for a vanity I believe. Still cute, useful, and welcomed again!
Bethany, I love the farmhouse one at the end. Thank you for sharing
I remember these designs from your channel! Great hacks and those crates are sturdy. I use them all over the house to organize.
I love the farmhouse one MOST of all too!! But they were all great pieces!! You never cease to amaze me!! 🥰❤❤❤
Dude that ribbon hack was genius
For sure!! I remember the crate DIY from back in the day on your channel. You’re so talented and always love watching you create.
I totally remember the first one you did! You are so talented girl!♥️
I remember the crate organizer. I've been with you for over 4 years.
I totally remember this diy. It was amazing then and amazing now. I love how creative you are. I look forward to your holiday DIYs especially Christmas. Thanksgiving is one of the most important holidays so I’m asking if you can creat some things specifically for Thanksgiving besides just fall DIYs. As I ask you last year, I would appreciate your early creations for Christmas.
Thank you for all you do. You make me happy. I’ve been suffering from anxiety especially now that we lost everything in a flood in our apartment do to a fire from our upstairs neighbor. At least we are okay. Watching you creat and listening to your Joyes voice, helps me more than you know. Also to make things that you teach us how to make, keeps me busy and focused doing something I love. Thank you so much sweet girl. Keep on creating.
Oh, do you have any ideas for Christmas DIYs for an apartment patio?
Take care and keep safe. 🤗
Bethany, I do remember back when you made those beautiful crate DIYs! I remember showing my granddaughter your crate DIY with the mirror in the middle, she wanted to make one but she never did it. She's almost 16 now so I'm gonna remind her, now she's really into the makeup lol!
I'm sure glad I found you so many way back then. I've learned so much from you! Thank you Bethany!! 🙂♥️
Hey Bethany, yes, I remember the crates diys. This was and still is a great storage solution. I've been meaning to buy some more of the crates, but everything except the crates. TFS, be safe and be blessed. ❤❤❤😊
Happy Tuesday beautiful talented Bethany! I do remember you doing one similar to this and as always that was beautiful too. This is gorgeously done Bethany! You are a genius at coming up with the most amazing hacks and decors. Thank you for sharing this inspirational video. Have a blessed week.
Been watching for about 5 yrs I think. I for sure remember all your versions of this shelf unit!
Girl dollar tree owns you some commissions with all the business you’ve been getting them I’m sure I really love the look of the last one where the crate holes were covered so pretty
It's so hard to get those crates at dollar tree. Love your ideas. I may have an idea but you show me how to accomplish it.
Yes I remember these back in the day. I have loved your channel since I first watched you years ago. You are definitely one of my favorites 💖

Yesss, Bethany! O.G. from CT, and PROUD of it, and I'm staying! I am loving these crate ideas, and I am sharing them with my daughter, who has been complaining about needing storage space! You're so crate-ative! Thank you!💞💞💞
I for SURE remember when you made that bin DIY back in the day! Oh my gosh, your channel has grown so much since then! So glad so many people have discovered what we already knew! You're the best! 😊 Stay cool girl! 😎👍

Yassss!!! This was one of the first projects I ever saw you do and I love all the variations you do!
Bargain Bethany yes! I remember your original DIY video. I surprised my mom when she was on vacation and built her a place for her crazy, Imelda Marcos sized shoe collection. She was a fan of Renaissance and Baroque styles already so I used antique gold spray paint over red and wiped gently here and there. It fit right in w her expensive furniture. Covered 3 sides of each cube w marble contact paper to cover the holes. Still looks gorgeous toady! Thank you for the additional genius ideas!
This was the DIY that got me watching your channel! This is beautiful! I may recreate this for my classroom
Bethany I’ve been watching you since you literally started your CZcams channel when you were doing special effects faces and make up. Back when there was nobody here on CZcams at all!😂 you were like the first person I subscribed to and was a fan of! You were amazing at that too!And then about a year ago my mom started getting into crafting and she was showing you and your channel to me and I was like oh my god 🤯no way I haven’t seen her in years! and now you are like the number one dollar 💵 store craft channel. I’m so proud of you love you girlfriend❤
I LOVE how smart & simple the ribbon organizer is!! I literally already have everything I need to make it. WOW, the 32 crate vanity makeup organizer is gorgeous & looks like it holds a crazy amount of stuff!! Thanks for sharing your SMARTS with us!!! 😁❤️
I remember that from way back! My how time flies. These are good ideas and they look nice as well. You always make nice projects.

Thank you so much for the time you put into creating these diy’s for us to see!! It can be very hard juggling your gift with a child and husband and chores trust me I know lol!!!!
I never click faster than for a Bethany video!😄 You're best! Luv you, Matt, and Cooper!
I have no idea how long I’ve followed you, but you were the very first person I started following. I remember the crate diy from back in the day.
My favorite creations were the crate ones I remember I was running out to Menards to get the contact paper!!!! Crates were different then.... The back was closed and there were squares not circles. I still have them organizing crafting supplies etc.
You couldn’t have any better timing Bethany! 👍😊I need something so badly now to organize all my crafting supplies (and steal a closet to put it away in haha 😆)!!! Your so amazing! I hope we have them soon at our DT’s. 😊
I loved this DIY when you first did it and I still love it! I’ve told so many people about it and your channel
I’m going to try the vanity hutch next
I do remember that crate! Gorgeous!
I always loved that crate organizer. ❤️
I do remember this diy. It was one of the first videos I watched. Been a subscriber ever since!

Hard to believe it's been that long I remember that original one Bethany you are so talented,,
I remember your crates diy..boy I can’t believe I have been watching you that long…I have enjoyed all your DIYs through the years…
Really great ideas..I love the barnyard shelf.. the small counter one is 👌
Gosh, I didn’t know I was an OG because I knew what you were making! LOL 😂
You have made so many get ideas out of these crates.
I do remember you making this before, very creative. I love watching your channel bc you give a lot of ideas, thx for sharing.
I've been watching since you lived with your parents. And I think this was one of the first DIYs I saw you do.
I love the different things you can create with the crates. My favorite is where you put the wood over the top and sides. What are those measurements and what color paint did you use? Thank you for sharing 💜
I remember when you made it. I love watching all your diy videos. They are so simple to make.
I remember seeing you self beginning done, but I don’t know if it was the original or a repeat. I just love watching you make awesome DIY’s and want to make some just like you do.
I sit here and watch ur simply safe ad like "awe Bethany I'm so proud of you girl" ❤️
Definitely using the ribbon organizing tip. I have loads of ribbon I use for creating wreaths, hair accessories and accents in memory albums. My dad has been working on emptying his garage and he has lots of wood - so instead of me buying rain gutters for storing ribbon on the sides of my shelving units, he made them using the wood scraps in his garage. I like them lots, but they don't float inside like I would rather have. He made them more for storing than as a tool for easy use. I'll still use them as they fit the sides of my IKEA solid wood shelving system perfectly!
Love this so creative!!
Saw the crate and time stamp and said this is old lol. Yup one of the classics. Thanks for this video, and honestly thanks for speaking a little slower. Much love to you all
I am an OG from back in the day. I do remember when you did the original piece. Thanks for sharing all these years
This upgrade for the shelf is 🔥

HI BETHANY, YOU FORGOT TO POST THE FULL TUTORIAL YOU MENTIONED 🙂
Hello Bethany! Have you done a video showing how to organize scrapbook paper? Specifically, I am looking for a relatively inexpensive way to organize and hold 12x12 papers. Another thing I have been looking for is a way to organize and store scrap paper. Please do a video on some of your ideas about organizing and storing craft paper for scrapbooking and other projects. I’ve looked at many videos and nothing has really stood out to me yet. Thank you for possibly considering this as an idea for an episode.
O. G.
