5bottlesDeco Art Patio Paintred, yellow, green, dark brown, and orange (or light brown)
Instructions
Sand all the wood crate pieces.Start by opening the package and looking through the assembly instructions. It’s pretty simple, but always a good idea to read them first and make sure nothing is missing. Then go over all the wood pieces with a quick brush of sandpaper to smooth any rough edges or uneven spots.
Prime the pieces for painting.Lay out the 4 side pieces with the outsides facing up. Spray a few thin coats of primer over them. Let them dry about 30 minutes.
Paint the sides of the crate.Line the side panels up and use the small paintbrushes to add the burger colors one at a time. You can lightly sketch where you want the lines to go, but I just eyeballed mine. The bun should take up about half of the top and bottom slats. Ketchup and cheese are the other half of the top slat. The cheese dips down over the bottom slat, then the lettuce is about the same 1/4 slat size as the ketchup. Paint the beef patty last. Let the pieces dry completely. Mine took about an hour until it felt dry, but I let it sit 24 hours before putting it together and filling it with things.
Assemble the painted wooden crate.Use a screwdriver and the Ikea instructions to assemble the box.
Fill the condiment caddy.When it’s cookout time, load up your caddy with ketchup, mustard, pickles, plates, and utensils for serving.
