I got the crates home and Jeff asked me what the crates were for. I was so excited to tell him my awesome idea but Booga discovered the crates and I had to wait to put them together. During nap time I pulled out the colorful zip ties (I also bought at the Dollar Store) and started to assemble. I was so excited it went together so much better than I had planned. I used two large zip ties on either side and four small zip ties in the inside. I started with green and worked my way up and down. It took about 20 minutes to put together. Once it was completely put together I attached it to the Closet Genie I bought. I was going to attach rope but Jeff was like it will be wobbly if you do that, just zip tie it. He was right and it is surprisingly sturdy and now hangs in my daughters closet
Materials Needed:
5 Small Crates (I purchased mine at the Dollar Tree)
Zip Ties (Dollar Tree Purchase and they are Neon!)
Smart Hangers (Dollar Tree Purchase 2 in a pack)
Total Cost: $7.00
Construction Time: 20 minutes (I rounded up – it was very easy to put together I was eating lunch while construction took place).
