Remove the jute ropes & sand the arrows.

Add E6000 to a side of one of the crates

& place it at the tip of one of the arrows

Add E6000 to a second crate & place it at the bottom of the arrow.

Make sure the first 2 crates are evenly placed, then add E6000 to the final Dollar Tree crate.

This is how the Dollar Tree crates should be glued to the arrow.

Add E6000 to the side of each crate.

...& place the second arrow on top.

Place something heavy on top & allow the glue to dry.

I opted to do a faux stain which I give you the tutorial for in my DIY tea towel ladder.

Paint or stain your Dollar Tree crate shelf.

Dip a towel in water

then into brown or black paint.

Wipe on brown, white, black, &/or gray with water until you're happy with the color.
