Measuring Cups - a simple way to store them
I use to dig in my kitchen drawers for the right size measuring cup until I
came up with a practical way to store them using the inside of a cupboard.
Used one of my favorite organizing things: Command Hooks
Grabbed a pencil, level and spaced out the measuring cups evenly on the inside of the cabinet (making sure nothing got in the way of the door closing).
I have two sets of measuring cups Stainless Steel and Collapsible and I tend to use every one them when I'm
really on a cooking blitz. (You don't even want to see what the kitchen
looks like then.)
Simple, easy to use and.... no more digging around in a drawer.
Happy Organizing!
A Cheery Recycling Box
With a very big blue recycling can in the garage, I wanted something that fit underneath the kitchen sink so I didn't have to trek to the garage every time I had something to recycle. After shopping and having no luck (didn't fit, too expensive), I decided to get out my handy Mod Podge and Do It Myself.
Supplies
1 Cardboard Box (to fit under the sink)
Scrapbook Paper (15-20 coordinating sheets)
Lettering (printed off computer, stencils, stickers)
Cover your work surface. Cut the paper into various sizes of squares and rectangles.
Glue the paper down with the Mod Podge overlapping the edges to
make a pattern you like.
make a pattern you like.
(It definitely gets sticky so make sure to have some wet paper towels handy.)
Add some lettering, if you wish. I printed up a label on a medium weight paper using a Stencil font. (If you have a ink jet printer, make sure to wait until the ink is dry before you try to Mod Podge over it, so it doesn't smear.) You can also use stickers, stencil, etc.
When you finished your pattern, cover the entire box with a few more coats of Mod Podge and let dry.
I sped the process along with a Blow Dryer.

I also sprayed a few coats of Clear Gloss Spray Paint to add a little more protection.
Happy Recycling!
