There are so many different types of ways to make Christmas trees. This one at Finding Home was made out of old wooden crates. (The link isn't working right now.) If you want to see a variety of "Christmas trees," head over to this linky party at Funky Junk! So much variety and creativity.
Rolling crates or storage areas are a must for organization. Think about toy rooms, closets, under beds and more great places these rolling containers would come in handy. Whether on hard wood, tile, cement or carpet, I could use about 10 of these. This one was made by Shanty2Chic.
Today's Fabulous Finds makes such amazing projects out of....paint sticks! I'm loving this skinny crate she made using paint sticks. It is perfect to mantle or small shelf with plants or candles or other things. you've got to see the full picture of the crate. 
I thought this zebra lampshade was one of those expensive ones from the store! WRONG! Bon Temps Beignet painted the zebra stripes HERSELF!!! This lamp makover is gorgeous. You must see how she created the zebra print on her lampshade!!!
Meyamo has a unique and useful idea for those unused CD cases! She turned them into picture frames. This is a great way to recycle "garbage."
Little Apartment On The Prarie took her child's crib spring and made it into a bulletin board of such. She is making other things from the rest of the crib. Great upcycling ideas for a crib.
Whether you need an applique or a patch, making these denim guitar appliques are so cool (even for a boy). See The Mother Huddle for instructions.
If you love the look or old crates and either can't find some or don't want to pay the price on one, follow 504 Main in making your very own "old" crate. Yeah, she made that. I thought it was real!!!
Unexpected Elegance made an old crate into a moveable outdoor coffee table. I think the wheels are my favorite part! Not only do they look cool, but you can move it around on your patio as you please.
