Transform Vintage Coca-Cola Crates Into Something Beautiful

There are few things more American than Coca-Cola.

Created in Atlanta during the 1800s, this iconic beverage has gone through countless changes over the years — but despite its many forms, Coke has remained a household favorite across the nation.

We've already shown you the evolution of the Coke bottle, but how about the way those Coke bottles got to their customers?

We didn't always have plastic or cardboard — so for many years, Coca-Cola used wooden crates to transport their bottles, many of which are still around today in attics, yard sales, and thrift stores.

And as it turns out, these old crates are absolutely perfect for DIY projects! When I saw all the amazing ways old Coca-Cola crates can be used, I was blown away.
