You will need

• wooden crates
• Woodoc Water-Borne FLOOR Clear Matt
• Woodoc Colours in Full Moon, Opal and Brights (Pink, Green, Yellow)
• mixing containers
• stirring spatula
• paintbrushes
• sandpaper

 Step 1

Decant about 100ml of Woodoc Water-Borne FLOOR Clear Matt into each of the containers. Add the Woodoc Colours Opal and Brights (Pink, Green, Yellow) to the containers, respectively. Then add some Full Moon to each container to create ice-cream colours. Stir well.

Step 2

 Seal the boxes with 3 coats of the colours you mixed in step 1. Let the sealer dry between coats and lightly sand after the first 2 coats has dried. Do not sand again after the third coat has dried.

Step 3

Position the boxes on top of each other to create shelving for toys or on a desk for stationery.

TIP It’s best to attach the crates to one another with screws; you can even secure the unit against the wall.
