![]() ![]() ![]() I can’t tell you how many times I have eaten a wooden pizza washed down with a pretend gallon of milk. ![]() It was a hit! It continues to get a lot of use and the kids (even the big kids) enjoy playing with it. The paint was literally drying under the Christmas tree haha!īut all is good that ends well. The first night it was assembled and the second night (Christmas Eve) it was painted. We didn’t know how to keep it under wraps so it was literally thrown together in two nights. In true…DIYer fashion…this was a terribly last minute project. I added the iron-on words and recycle sign with some iron on material…or you could stencil it on. I made this with some felt and have plans to share with you the pattern here in an upcoming post. Of course we had to have a fun little kids sized grocery bag. The sign was made with some vinyl I cut on my cutting machine. We simply attached the sign with some eyehooks. We built a top section of the stand so that we could hang a “GROCERY” sign from the top…which is one of my favorite parts. We didn’t want to have to find the right size of basket AFTER it was built. We had the baskets beforehand and used them to determine how wide and deep to build the grocery stand. We have three flat shelves (including the top shelf) and then we tilted the 2nd shelf so that it was at an angle for the baskets. Instead of closing off the sides of the grocery stand, we left them open so that the design and expense was very minimal. We started out by building a basic shelf design. Still waiting on my camera that is going to be replacing the one that just broke. Once again…please excuse the bad cell phone pictures. I can’t believe I haven’t shared this with you yet (over a year ago), but nevertheless, here it is. So, Santa thought it would be a great idea to make a DIY Grocery Stand. With 4 older siblings, we just didn’t need ! We already had a bunch of “groceries” that the kids were playing with in their playroom, but didn’t have a fun way to store or display it. Last year (2012)for Christmas, Santa brought our youngest her very own Grocery Stand. ![]()
