Wow! it has been so long since I've written, a whole season has gone by! I promise we have been so busy though! Since spring we've had, Mother's Day, Father's Day, our son's Baptism, I'm planning a friends baby shower (it's next weekend) and our son's FIRST birthday (in a couple weeks), I can't believe it. It doesn't seem possible that our little baby is already 1 it's to crazy. And, it was hard enough when he got his two bottom teeth, but I just noticed that the two top ones will be making their grand entrance any day now! (hello no sleep, nice to see you again) I love the teeth, but it just means he's becoming more of a big boy and not my little peanut anymore! But, that's okay. I know there is just more fun on the way, and a little more Independence, which I'll be okay with!! Oh! and I've been watching my friends 4 month old daughter a couple days a week! phew! I need a nap just typing all this.
Okay, enough of my sappy sadness about how my baby is growing up! lets move onto something fun and SUMMER related!!!! I'm super excited that it's finally summer and it's actually been really nice! We love being outside and using the grill in the summer, as a matter of fact, we're grilling tonight so this carrier will come in handy this evening!
Is this little beauty not the cutest way to display all of your condiments for BBQ's?!
ok, so here's what I did...I bet you can't guess what it's made out of? yup, you guessed it, a 6 pack holder!
This was super easy to make! I took an old 6-pack holder and cut out the dividers, then I took wrapping paper and wrapped that bad boy like a present!!
I used a wrapping paper that was a little bit more durable, its almost like a brown paper bag with a design, not quite as thick, but I think if you're careful you can use any style! It would be super cute if you had some red, white & blue with stars to use on the forth, or even just something a little more summery and festive..I wanted to be able to use it whenever and I didn't want it to girly!
So after I cut the dividers out, I took the wrapping paper and put it on the front and wrapped it to the back, then I cut the corners and folded everything in. I then took another piece and put it over the handle and cut the cut-out for carrying as well. It was seriously so easy and all you need is an old 6-pack box, scissors, tape & wrapping paper..who doesn't have that? easy peasy!
Done and ready to BBQ!!
also, how cute would it be to do this as a gift, when you're going to a BBQ. Just buy some beer to bring with you, wrap the box and put the beer back in! You don't have to cut the dividers out so you could easily put everything back in...what a sweet way to display your drinks, or silverware and napkins! Geez, this is so fun and so easy! Enjoy!!
Side Note: I am obsessed with wrapping paper, and gift bags (I'll show you a picture of them later) so I had wrapping paper laying around, if you don't, then maybe use a paper bag, and then decorate it with markers or colored pencils, or just leave it plain?
This wrapping paper is from the dollar section at Target, its one of those smaller rolls, I grab them whenever I'm there (usually) and some gift bags!
