Step 1
Cut the wooden plank to the same size as the long side of the crates. This will act as the supporting base for your spice rack.
Step 2
Sand down the crates and base to remove any existing stains or paint and create a smooth finish.

Step 3
Glue together your crates and base.
Step 4
Varnish, stain or paint the spice rack in your preferred finish. We chose to highlight the grain of the wood with a natural stain, but you could use paint to match your kitchen cabinets or walls.
