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!

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'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. ❤️❤️❤️

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 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!

Omg! Bethany, I remember when you did the crate organizer "back in the day!" 😀 I love this diy!

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!

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'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!🙏❤️🇺🇸😊

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

YOU ARE VERY SPECIAL TO GOD praise God praying for everyone everyday God bless you all

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

Bethany, I love the farmhouse one at the end. Thank you for sharing

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

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!

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. 🤗

I remember when you first made that. It’s beautiful. Love the hutch too. Thank you

I definitely remember that first DIY you talked about. It looks stunning!

I love the farmhouse one MOST of all too!! But they were all great pieces!! You never cease to amaze me!! 🥰❤❤❤

I'm an OG! I remember the mini crates you did for a vanity I believe. Still cute, useful, and welcomed again!

I definitely remember this DIY and the one before that with the makeup vanity with mirrors and lights.

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. ❤❤❤😊

These crate ideas are super clever, great for a dorm room!! Tfs Bethany🍄🌷🌼🌺🌻

I remember these designs from your channel! Great hacks and those crates are sturdy. I use them all over the house to organize.

I totally remember the first one you did! You are so talented girl!♥️

I remember this back in the day. You were the first DIY i had watched. Time sure does fly by fast

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!! 🙂♥️

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! 😎👍

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.

Wow, I love your organizational crate projects! These are awesome!! I’ve been watching you for a while, but not long enough to see some of these! Thanks for sharing!!!

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 remember the last crate shelf system you made! So pretty 💜

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!

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 💜

Yes, I do remember the original crate project.n still love it. I made a version of it to store all my florals and greenery in my craft room. The holes are perfect to stick florals in, on the inside and outside of the crates. Just one comment about the one you store cleaning supplies on. Instead of using binder rings th hold the mop and broom, use S hooks. It saves time not having to open and close the rings for each use. Love you videos. Just watched you new Halloween one yesterday. BRILLIANT.😍

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!

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.

Fabulous stacking shelves. Loved the wooden frame one.👍🥰

Super Bethany stopping delinquency in its tracks! Will definitely send a pic of the make up floating shelves, I’ll be making!! So many great ideas.💯🥳🤩

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

I definitely remember your original crate creation. Have always been a big fan of yours ☺️💜

Been watching for about 5 yrs I think. I for sure remember all your versions of this shelf unit!

I've been watching you since your announcement that Cooper was going to share your and Matt's life...I remember the first DIY with the crates! You ROCK!! 🙂

Bethany I’ve been watching you since you literally started your KZfaq channel when you were doing special effects faces and make up. Back when there was nobody here on KZfaq 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❤

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.

You are the queen of DIY’S!!!!!! I’m an OG I’ve been with you from the beginning and let me tell ya, you have given me so many ideas and today you have done it again!!! 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!!!!

Started watching you in 2020 when covid started and I was in my apartment with my fiance for a year and I love your diys and ideas for different place around the house

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 💖

I remember the crate project. I had just started watching your channel. I love this setup. My SIL is trying to setup a craft area and I think this might work for her.

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. ❤️💜💚

I've been watching you create for 4 years now. Love your channel 💕

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. 😊

Yes I remember you making that back in the day, I even remember you on the back deck of ur parents old house putting together picture frames to make a big picture window piece! You have really grown your channel since then and as a beautiful young woman ( u were always beautiful) & a very lovely family 👨‍👩‍👦

Great to see these organization hacks and the return of the metallic gold paint. 😊😊😊

I have been watching your channel for about 7 years. I love your creativity!!!!!

I'm an OG & definitely remember this DIY from back then!! Ur amazing!! I love love love everything you make!!!

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 your crates diy..boy I can’t believe I have been watching you that long…I have enjoyed all your DIYs through the years…

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've always loved your crate diy's and all the updates ❤️

I never click faster than for a Bethany video!😄 You're best! Luv you, Matt, and Cooper!

I sure remember when you made the small bin makeup credenza(?), I think that was the first video of yours that I watched & I WAS HOOKED! Of course I've watched you making the create organizers too. You're full of great ideas & I'm glad I found you way back when.

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.

Bethany, I do remember when you made the crate several years ago. I believe that was my first time watching your channel...I was hooked😉They are Beautiful! God Bless.💞

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.

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!

Yasss Another Awesome DIY!!! Im Definitely A OG & Made This Myself Back In The With You!!! Still Have It Today!!! I Really Miss The *Glad DIY's* -Much Love & Blessings💖

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.

One of the first Diys I remember watching was the cube vanity topper with the mirror and pop on lights around it. ❤ watching you.

I been watching you since 2017. I was in love with the candy dishes on the candle holders hack.

I remember the crate organizer. I've been with you for over 4 years.

There hasn’t been a diy to top the original knockoff ikea desk/vanity you made, I loved your glam stuff I wish you did more

This was the DIY that got me watching your channel! This is beautiful! I may recreate this for my classroom

I am long-time subscriber, and do remember the different shelving systems you made with the crates. I like the one with the stained boards the best, too. You always have such great ideas. Hi to Cooper and Pepper. Alway love seeing them in your videos.

I love when you do things with the crates. The videos with the crates are my favorites

I made some of your crate stands you had a long while ago. The wood farmhouse looking one. TFS these🙌

I remember your crates. That was way back before you and Matt were even engaged! And now you're married and a mom and have over a million subscribers!!!!!

You were my first and favorite since I started DIY on KZfaq.2015 I think .Jody crafts was my second you were doing makeup when I first watched.

This video came at the perfect time. I want to create some kind of shelf system in my crafting closet. Is there a way to also add the dollar tree bins? I'm loving the ribbon idea and I will be doing that with my massive ribbon collection

It was your vanity video that got me hooked on KZfaq about 5 years ago.

I'm not an OG. Wish I was... but i came across your channel about a year ago and have been watching ever since. And I binge watched every one of your videos. You're one of my favorite people.

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
