C is for Cut Out Tray

Im over at Brittanys blog, Pretty Handy Girl, sharing how to make this cut out tray.  All you jig saw lovers will enjoy this project and for those who have yet to try the jig saw this is a simple starting point.

You can use any font or shape you choose because the tray surface is covered with plexiglass.

Check out the full tutorial here.

C is for Candy Button Zipper Pouches

diy candy button zipper pouches

This just might be the most outrageous diy project I have conjured up in my lifetime but when my daughter decided she wanted a Willy Wonka birthday party all things normal went out the window.  So today I am sharing how to make candy button zipper pouches using real candy buttons which will be the favors at her birthday party.

It's official since I already sent out this cute little save the date graphic I made up.

The candy buttons ARE NOT EDIBLE anymore because they have been sealed with clear gloss polyurethane which is the only way I could figure out how to keep the buttons adhered to the paper and protect the sugar and paper from moisture (humidity, moist fingers, liquids in general).

C is for Cupcake Box 4 pack

C is for Cupcake Carrier large

Last week I shared the 4 pack cupcake carrier but today it's the real deal because in all honesty you're definitely more likely to need 18 cupcakes than 4!

A simple wood box with inserts means you can deliver these cupcakes in style!

For this little creation I was inspired by Anthropologie's Wooden Cake Box Carrier:

Their version is $75 plus shipping and sold out until 6/22.  Guess that means you'll want to DIY this project!

C is for Chore Chart

diy chore chart

Also known as the Order of Indoor Duties for Children.  Isn't it great!?  I made this wall art for the upstairs hallway where all the kids bedrooms are located.

image source

My wall art is a replica of the historical document above written in 1846 which lists the rules for daily life and the schedule which was followed by the homeschooled Alcott girls.  The document is hung on display in the parents bedroom at Orchard House in Concord, MA and you can purchase a print in the gift shop.  If you're a Little Women fan and in the area you should definitely stop by!
