Pin it & Spin it: Anthro Egg Crate

0 Shares

Please tell me that I’m not the only girl who has seen something on the internets and immediately fallen smitten with said item even though there seems to be no apparent need for it? No? Good. Such is the case with this lovely little ceramic egg crate from Anthropologie. It had me at ceramic and brown eggs.

But, what does one do with a ceramic egg crate? Other than the the initial egg photo shoot?

Crickets.

Yea, that’s what I came up with, too.

Until I thought of this: recipe card holder. It looks pretty on the kitchen counter and is functional, too.

Materials:

Wooden craft eggs
Hacksaw or little saw tool {my words, not Thom’s}
Sand paper, fine grit, optional

That’s it! Just use the hacksaw blade to saw a slit into the top of the egg. Sand if needed {I didn’t bother, ours looked fine}.

I used a bit of double sided tape to secure the wooden egg to the ceramic so the egg wouldn’t bobble when I placed the recipe card in it.

Have you completed any pin projects lately? I’d love for you to link up! There were some fun additions to my Pin it & Spin it board last week. Thanks, Chris, for sharing!
