DIY CRATE SEATS | A Classroom Diva

[@rochelledozier603]

My crates were 17 1/4" L x 14 1/4" W x 10 5/8" H, and your measurements were spot on!! Thank you for the video!!

[@theangelatezeno]

Thanks for making the instructions easy to follow. You’re a great “teacher”!

[@ashleywilson3529]

I love crate seats! I also use some plastic from the fabric store to staple over the fabric. It makes it so much easier to clean them and keep them looking nice year to year :)

[@AClassroomDiva]

Wow! Such a great idea!!! I may have to go ahead and add that to mine because the kiddos are obsessed with them and they use them all the time in the classroom! :) Having plastic would definitely help so I don't have to make new ones for next year!!!

[@ashleywilson3529]

Just make sure to get thicker plastic. I used the thinnest plastic first because it is easier to manipulate, but it is also easier for the little ones to poke through and rip. This year I used the thicker plastic and they are holding up great :)

[@ameliag2583]

A Classroom Diva the kids can store books in the crate as a kind of book box

[@1BestCookie]

Ashley Wilson you should make the lid removable with a hindge so you can store stuff inside

Thank you for telling us the measurements. Beautiful looking crates.

[@veronicagahgan8975]

Can you please tell me what the open dimensions of your crate are? It looks like the ones from Walmart this year are about 17 inches, so I'm trying to calculate the adjustment for the particle board. Thank you for the tutorial and your help! :)

[@patriciaalvarez7873]

Thank you for the easy directions, will make!!!

[@DestinyShaelynn]

I could watch your channel all day! You are so fun! (:

[@Wannabecrafting247]

YAY! Thank you for the great instructions!

[@1greatteach192]

Thank you soooooo much! I was wanting to make these for nest year!

[@healthandfitness35]

Wonderful video. Thanks for the tutorial!

[@LaurensDesigns]

Thanks for the vid! I'm curious if n e one has used these for 1 plus years yet and how they hold up? Ive' made so many diy things that don't hold up and end up being a waste time/money. :( Suggestions?

[@almarodriguez7488]

I love this idea! I'm going to need to make these this summer! How well did they hold up during the school year??

[@malindamorales5910]

I also want to know that

[@loved1lost333]

Hello, I just discovered your channel on KZbin via ROKU. What a cute, easy and fun project. Simplicity is the key. I wish I still had my daycare business. The kids would’ve loved this. Great for outdoors too. Super job. Now a subscriber.

[@dorisampofowah4298]

Very nice work and great ideas!! Thanks for sharing!! 👍👍👏👏❤

[@angelacarter9825]

Outstanding! How nice is that!

[@rockingdanteachingman]

Great crate seats, thanks for sharing how you made them.

[@AClassroomDiva]

Thank you so much!

[@rmamacass]

How much weight do you think these could hold? I teach upper elementary, but I'm worried that they might be too big for these. I'd love it if they would work!

[@AClassroomDiva]

They hold my hubby just fine and he is 200 lbs! :) The upper elem kiddos will be just fine, just make sure the wood goes over the lip of the crates. If you get the exact measurements of wood/crates, they should work! :)

[@emergingeducator704]

A Classroom Diva the guy at Home Depot didn't want to cut the wood for me since he said he didn't think these would hold a second grader

[@AClassroomDiva]

Wow! Mine definitely are holding up just fine and are still super sturdy. :) My almost 4th grader and her friends use them all the time in the playroom.

[@emergingeducator704]

A Classroom Diva lucky for me i went to a different Home Depot. There was a. Ice guy who not only cut them, but also sat on one to ease my mind! Thanks for this video!

[@vero7852]

Great tutorial! I've been inspired!!! I do have a question???? How tall are these seats? I'm thinking of adding some type of "legs" or possibly casters depending on the "tallness" Thanks!!!!

[@CapelaChurch]

Can you storage them one crate inside the other? if the cushion is removed.

[@BabyYoda-ts4br]

Great tutorial thanks for the walk through

[@kimberlimizumoto1909]

Thank you for the measurements! Other tutorial videos I watched didn't give dimensions for the particle board to be cut into.

[@kboop11]

Thanks for the post!!!!

[@neshastephenson290]

How thick is the wood that you are using? Thank you much for the tutorial

[@rochelledozier603]

I looks like just over half an inch! I saw the measurements at second 53 when they show the price of the particle board:)

[@whatley3rd]

I also covered the material in plastic. I figured they will stay cleaner longer.

[@betsystgo3281]

Great and it looks super easy tfs and Happy New Year

[@AClassroomDiva]

They were super easy! :) Thanks for watching! Happy New Year to you!

[@conniewu6995]

Thank you for this video! It's so helpful! I'm just wondering what the thickness of the board you used was? 1/2"?

[@lcadez]

SO doing this next year!!

[@judithcintron1221]

I love it! Thanks!!! :)

[@rebeccamohri2168]

I made them and they are adorable. The problem is the tops will fall into the crate and they are to short. I am not sure how I could fix them😭😣

[@miamolina5872]

If they're too small I'd just flip the crate over and put the cushions on the other side. They'd lose the storage bonus, but you'd still have the cushions as useable

[@GGMoon-qo3tp]

Very cool!

[@TheHarlequinade]

I would LOVE to make these but it's so hard to find these types of crates in the UK.

[@sharonyang2487]

In the U.S. these are from Walmart.

[@jenniferhoffman2715]

Are you mrs.hargis because am kahmara from ms.glanz

[@kahmaradowns3107]

Sorry if not you

[@georgiakittredge8679]

Those who teach our children should use proper English. At 2:24, you say your pads need to "lay" nicely. This is incorrect. It should be to "lie." Please review the difference between "to lay" and "to lie" and teach their proper use. We must preserve our language. And those crate seats are adorable. What a fantastic idea!

[@Madi-in6kf]

Georgia Kittredge oh my god such a small error, she's not teaching anyone English in this video so it's not the end of the world jeez.

Teachers are not infallible. Give her a break, it’s a KZbin video…
