Krylon Contest - Jennifer Priest - Kids Art Crate Collage

I'm participating in a Krylon Mini Mystery Box promotion! Last month, Krylon had a giveaway where they sent 50 bloggers a mystery box of product to create a project voer the next few weeks. I love the adorable crate that we got from Walnut Hollow, included in the kit! It's equally as adorable as these Krylon Short Cuts paint cans – seriously, perfect for small projects! Have I told you how many half used cans of spray paint are in my garage, in the most crazy colors?  I bet you have a collection just like mine… what we needed were smaller spray paint cans and Krylon has answered with Short Cuts.

When I saw the crate, I thought cute, and well, my niece is cute so I thought this would be a great project to make for her. Look at her, here with Matthew!

She really knows how to work it, right? My niece loves to draw, and living in a house full of boys, she needs a way to differentiate her stuff from THEIRS. I knew the pink spray paint that I received from Krylon would be perfect for this project. This crate can be stored on a desk top or a bookcase and holds lots of great art supplies that my niece can use to draw, paint, and get creative with, all on her own. She can bring it out to the picnic table in the backyard, play on the living room floor, or paint at the kitchen table with it. I seriously want to make one for each of  the kids, though, I'll change the colors and hearts for the boys.
