How to Upcycle a Crib

In 3 Steps and under $30!!!!

By Christine LaGrosse November 26, 2016
What to do with that old crib that's been gathering dust in your attic? How about upcycle it to make a desk for your "big" kid? For less than $30 and less than an hour of work, you can have this awesome desk. Here is how you do it in 3 easy steps…


1. Take one of the sides off of the crib and adjust the bottom of the crib to the highest setting (if your old crib happens to be a drop-down, take off the side that moves up and down).

2. Buy a 2 ft by 4 ft pre-cut board from your local hardware store. (We opted for the sturdier piece of wood, but there is a thinner version for a few dollars less.)

3. Prime the board and then paint it with chalkboard paint!

Can you believe it was that easy????!!!!
