Metal Cabinet Turned Outdoor Storage

A simple spray paint project allowed me to clean up the patio in time for summer, check it out:

Recently I shared this post where I was working on cleaning up our back patio and repurposed an old BBQ grill into a planter. Not long after that project, my husband decided to upgrade his older smoker (visible in the grill planter post) into the new one that you see here. All of his accessories were tossed into a plastic bin and I thought it would be a lot nicer to have some sort of weather proof cabinet.

When I found this cabinet at Goodwill for $7, I knew it would be perfect! I cleaned it up and spray painted it black to match the patio furniture...

...and then rolled it into place. Doesn't it look so much nicer? Everything fits inside on shelves now and you don't have to dig to get what you are looking for. It's amazing what $7 and a can of spray paint can do for your outdoor storage 😊

I hope you enjoyed this makeover post, thanks for stopping by!

Pantry Cabinet Makeover

I decided to upgrade my current faux pantry after finding a display cabinet at the thrift store. Read on to see how I made it over:

**********

Here is the cabinet that I had in place at the time; a simple bookshelf painted white with photo frame 'doors' to keep the dust out.

When I found this cabinet that was taller and had an actual working door, I knew I had to snap it up. It was a great deal at a thrifted $20 😉

Look at what I did moving it into the house, I cracked one of the glass panels! No problem though, I can fix that...

...First I sealed the crack with e6000 and let dry.

Next I placed an acrylic ruler on top of the broken section and took a picture.

I then uploaded that photo to Cricut's Design Space and stretched the image so that the measurements matched the grid on screen. If you look closely, you can see the crack.

With the image of the crack in place, I designed a sticker on top knowing it would be the exact size and shape to cover it up!

I cut the vinyl and placed the sticker like this. I decided to mirror the sticker and placed another on other side of cabinet as well. This makes it look uniform and intentional.

I painted the cabinet white and put the glass panels back in place. You can see the stickers on the bottom left and right sides.

I got everything filled in and loved how it looked...

...but I felt nervous about the thin glass shelves. My husband cut stronger ones out of wood for me that I painted in white and put in instead.

Here is how it all looks now:

I'm happy to have five shelves now instead of four, and the working door is so convenient!

This post will take you through what's on each shelf.

You might have noticed the new tins that I added at the same time. I found them at the thrift store for $2 each and cut stickers for them using this SVG bundle.

And here is the new cabinet all finished and in place. Being able to open it up and fuss with my collection is such a treat!

I hope you enjoyed this makeover post, thanks for stopping by!

Mini Foods From Various Molds/ Recycled Toy Packaging

Using craft room supplies, a random mold and recycled toy packaging, I made a whole set of mini foods. Read on to see how easy it was:

**********

It all started with this 'make your own eraser' kit that I found for a couple of dollars at the thrift store. The tiny molds were so cute and I figured that bit of Modelite foam clay would work perfectly.

Here is the Modelite I used, made by Cra-Z-Art.

The eraser kit also had these cut outs that could be folded into doughnut and pizza boxes that I cut out and saved for later.

Beginning with the eraser mold I made these shapes and let them dry overnight. A few of the waffles I cut apart so that they could be singles.

I'm pointing in this photo because there is some sort of detail that I'm wanting to share with you....but I cannot remember what it was 😂😃😁 I do know that these two trays are identical in layout because I made a couple of extra sets for my nieces....but what am I pointing at??? 😆

When everything was dry I started painting in acrylic, it took a couple of coats. This photo has doughnuts and muffins.

Toothpicks were helpful for rounded items, like these ice cream scoops.

Here are the ice cream scoops all finished. I put them into an empty Miniverse mini brands container.

I detailed the doughnuts and pizza slices with puffy paint. Here they are in those boxes I mentioned.

Cherry topped muffins with puffy paint for the fruit and chocolate chips.

Here are the waffles.

And here are the burger and hot dog. They are cute but too big for Barbie or Miniverse once put together.

For the next batch I used Modelite in a candy mold, painted in acrylic and detailed with puffy paint. This mold is for chocolate making, but I thought it looked like tiny Bundt cakes!
