Mother’s Day Gift Idea: Personalized Towel Crate

Sharing is caring!

Disclosure: I was chosen to be a Michaels Maker for Michaels Stores. All opinions are 100% my own.

I know it may seem a little early to be talking about Mother’s Day, but in reality we should be celebrating our mom’s every day, right?! :)

For this month’s Michaels Maker Challenge, we were asked to come up with a project inspired by our moms or a gift idea for Mother’s Day. Today, I’m sharing a Personalized Towel Crate using the kid’s birthdays. It creates an industrial farmhouse look but with meaning!

image

These were very simple to put together. I picked up this mall crate from Michaels. It’s $19.99 but it’s often 50% off or you can use a coupon.

Then, I create vinyl stencils of my kids’ birthdays using my Silhouette machine.

I added a very light coat of white paint. I wanted a rustic look so I didn’t completely cover the wood. This is also a part where the kids can help with the project.

Peel off the vinyl and you have a cute personalized towel crate for the bathroom! I thought this was a fun way to bring meaning into the home.

Michaels has everything you need to craft the perfect handmade gift that will make Mom’s day.

If you don’t know where to begin, you can always take a look at some of the fun projects on Michaels.com or the other 49 Makers’ ideas on The Glue String for to see how they personalized their crafts!

You can catch up on the full process on my stories, I saved a highlight reel under “bathroom Reno” so you can check it out. Today didn’t go quite as planned with a lot of roadblocks but my goodness I can’t believe how much it changed in a weekend!

Here’s a peek at my last bathroom reno I did in my kids’ bathroom. You can swipe to see the before and after.

When we moved in, we didn’t have a door between When we moved in, we didn’t have a door between our bedroom and bathroom. So we  decided to install a modern barn door over the large opening to be able to block it off. Practical and adds dimension!

I love that each of our kids have requested a read I love that each of our kids have requested a reading corner from in their rooms. While they don’t always read here, it’s always nice to walk in and find them relaxing, playing on games or electronics and feeling like they have a space of their own that they helped create! And I must say, I’ve spent some time in this chair while we do homeschool and it’s pretty cozy!
