This is one of those projects where there’s definitely no right or wrong way to do it. You just keep adding or taking out what you like and what you don’t. You could go a minimalistic route or clutter the heck out of it. Baskets vary in size and shape so what I did won’t necessarily work for you but, it’s the idea that hopefully will.

This is such a simple how-to on making a cute little chalkboard that looks like a scroll using an old wooden spool.

It was a lot of work to make basically the same thing without little holes for the nutcracker utensils.
I say this and you may think why is she telling me that she basically didn’t create anything new? The point is, sometimes I just need to DO and not think of the outcome. I just did this with no real expectations which is often hard for me. Are you like this? In the end, this isn’t perfect but, I did it. Continue reading “Nutcracker Dish Christmas Makeover”
