Ingenious! Great use of “I’m not sleeping on that” mattress foam, tee shirts (who doesn’t have a drawer full of them) and a Craigslist bargain! They really are adorable. I loved the extra “wooden frame” that’s sits down inside the crate to keep the lid in place. This extra step is so important to keep the little ones from falling off a slippery stool.
Now you have to create a functional table for all your colorful Storage Stools. Something at the correct height for the stools to be tucked underneath when not in use. The kids would have a ball doing crafts, playing games, having their snacks, etc. at their own multifunctional play table. I’m sure you’ll find bits and pieces on Craigslist….you’ve got a super creative mind. You did such a great job on these storage stools!

Love this idea. I have milk-crate-style file boxes and I need foot stools/seats/storage! Thanks for sharing your very good tutorial.

Hi Melissa,
Super idea! And it’s so versatile for a ton of uses! I have some suggestions: I can see them mixed-and-matched, with the colors switched around, just for fun. Or made with a multi-color print to mix around with the different colored boxes, or a variety of prints with similar colors to mix and match. So fun to change them around! On the other hand, if particular toys belong in particular colored boxes, you might want them to match up so they know where to find their special toy without dumping them all out… A person could really take off with your idea! God bless you for sharing!

In reply to Melissa Reems. I think the milk crate could easily be covered in fabric! Thanks for your comment Melissa!
