Oh So Crafty Are We

I found this idea on either..pinterest, or a crafty blog.. I don't remember.  I get sucked into those black holes all too often and many times emerge not remembering where I've been.  So the original idea isn't mine, but Courtney and I added our own twist. :)

We started out by using one of Jeremy's 24 pack Pepsi boxes.  We grabbed a few sheets of scrap booking paper, some good ole' fashion home made mod-podge (also courtesy of pinterest!), a paint brush, and got started!  First doing a layer of mod-podge on the box, then sticking on the paper, and mod podging over that as well to give it a stiff sturdy feel.

Blow-dry it dry...(oh, and p.s, i had cut a couple holes out of the box before hand)

 (in case anyone wanted to know, this is just half elmers glue and half water, shaken, not stirred!)

 Add a funny face, bling it out with glitter (because i was doing this with a 4 year old, and to her, no craft is complete without glitter!).

Fill with canned goods.....

(Ignore the sauce down her shirt, she had spaghetti for lunch.... also ignore that she's still in pajamas)

 And cute-ify your pantry shelves! (aka maximize storage space)

Since this little gem of ours is housing all the corn, we have appropriately named her "Corny".  Courtney said she looked lonely up there, so as soon as Jeremy finishes up his Mountain Dew, we'll be making her a friend to house the green beans next to her.  Perhaps we'll name him... Beaner.
