Crafting- Baby Storage Crates

Nesting?

I have not had any weird food cravings during my pregnancy, but I have had the intense desire to make things for our baby.  I don't have a lot of tools build things, so this left me a little distressed. 

One day I decorated the small blocks (above) using letters and pages from magazines & modge podge.  I thought they turned out cute, and it was free.  I already had modge podge, the small blocks (scraps from a different project), and free copies of BABY Magazine to cut up for paper.

Over Christmas break I spent some time in my dad's wood shop to build a few projects for me to work on.

Daniel and I have been trying to organize all of our baby supplies, so I built these crates using scraps from my dad's wood shop.

I painted the inside brown and striped the outside with brown, green, and blue.

Then I made stencils.  I printed the letters & numbers I wanted to use on a piece of card stock.  Then cut out the part I wanted to paint on and used the outline as my stencil.

I thought they turned out pretty cute! 

They helped me organize my stockpile of wipes.  Now we ready for our baby. :)
