Chicken wire here, chicken wire there, chicken wire everywhere.
This could totally be the new Country song hit!
I have fallen in love with chicken wire, because it adds a farm-metal charm to any room.

I built a wood frame out of
old wood, and used a piece of
leftover wood (from our basement remodel) for the base.

I left the wood as is, because I really like how it looks. But I might end up painting the bottom piece.
Love the final product!
Cost of project less than $2
4ft of chicken wire $1.76
scrap wood free
It took me several hours to make this crate (cutting the wood, put the frame together and especially adding the chicken wire)...but oh so worthy!
Stay Frugal,

Well you sure are clever.
Fantastic idea! I dig it.
Totally worth wrecking your hands over :). This turned out GREAT. You are one talented lady.
Great idea Daniela! I love the wood the way it is! I also love chicken wire but haven't done any projects with it yet!
Cute idea! How cute would that be with umbrellas in it? Traci
Such a fun project! I love the idea of using it for umbrellas.

I love it! It's so rustic and charming and best of all unique! It's nice that you were able to make it using materials you already had on hand.
You're so brave! Just unrolling the stiff chicken wire would feel intimidating to me, great idea.

Worthy indeed! This is a great idea. I would not have guessed this is what you were doing. The chicken wire sure does add a fabulous farm-feel. Nice project!

I love it - the sticks look great in it! I didn't realize that you had to click continue reading so my first comment didn't make sense!
Love it!! I have a roll of that fun stuff in my shed too :) Laurel
Very nice and makes a conversation piece when guests come over!

I was curious as to what you were making, and now I see. The finished product is wonderful. I love the rustic feel. Great piece!
Great use for leftover pieces.
Great idea Daniela!
Cute project and usable too. Love it!
Adorable Chickwire Crate! I pinned it on pinterest. Good job! :)
Love chicken wire! You did a great job on that crate and will be able to get lots of use out of it too!
wow, what a great project! I just love the chicken wire look! And I think painting the bottom is a great idea. Great idea!
So cute! I can't believe it was under $2. So creative! Visiting from Thursday Favorite things :)
Super cute girly! What a great idea!!
OMG! You have just saved me a fortune! I've been wanting something rustic looking to put on my new deck to put throw cushions in when people don't want them on the loungers. It needs to be something that won't be ruined in the rain as I live in the UK, so I was thinking metal basket, olive bucket, etc, but as I'm sure you know these things ain't cheap, and we've pretty well blown the budget with the cost of the deck and other necessities. However ......... I have a roll of chicken wire in the shed, and loads of old scrap wood, so guess what I'll be working on tomorrow. Thanks SO much for the idea, it's PERFECT!
