After your flash of inspiration draw it up.

Draw a simple box or crate using the method of your choice and then add in the details. Add colour if you wish

Crating - a simple box drawn in oblique, isometric, single point or two point perspective which allows you to add details inside the box once it is drawn.

But I'm no good at drawing!!

Don't worry, if you use a backing sheet you can place this under your page and draw over some of the lines that show through to draw your crate. Once the crate is drawn you can continue to use the backing sheet to add details to your drawings. This method requires you to prepare backing sheets which are simply oblique grid paper or isometric grid paper which have been lined in with a black fine writer to show through when you place it under your page.
