DIY Wooden Tote
This tote was another DIY project that we used up-cycled and leftover wood scraps to create. We also made some of the tote’s contents: Mr. Bunny and the decoupaged eggs. Overall this was a fun project. Not to mention it costs nearly nothing. It is perfect to use as an Easter Basket.
Supplies
The tote can be styled to fit any decor and/or holiday not to mention it can be used to hold napkins, flatware, salt and pepper shakers, and other picnic necessities. Also, it could hold coloring books with jars filled with colored pencils, crayons, and/or markers or jars filled with wildflowers. The possibilities are endless.
Supplies
- Carrots
- Eggs
- Floral with nest
- Chicks
- DIY Nest (see how made one here)
This wonderful one-board-bench is a breeze to make. I show you how to make one in another post see it HERE.
This tote contains a jar with baby’s breath, a floral pick with a nest and two eggs, a moss wreath, a bluebird nest, a bunch of fabric carrots, a wooden bunny, and easy decoupaged eggs made by our model.

Painting
The tote handle was a spindle from a headboard that was painted a light blue, while the rest was raw wood.
Naturally, it needed a makeover with some paint and glaze. First, we used chalk in mustard yellow (a personal favorite) to paint the tote.
The next step was to add some character with a brown glaze. Finally, we finished the tote with clear wax to protect it.
Supplies
- Paint
- Paintbrush

Mr. Bunny was also cut from scrap wood then stained it. Added a twine tie for the finishing touch.
The little woolen chick added the right amount of yellow to the contents.
The bottom of the tote was constructed from the scarps of a wooden Noel sign. See that project post HERE.
