Hey there! I am finally getting around in taking my Christmas presents out of their boxes.  I have some special kiddos.  They knew I would love having a Cricut for my very own.  Now where to put it and how to store all the tools!   Before I get to organizing my tools I need to mention this is our monthly Pinterest Challenge, the challenge is hosted by Erlene with My Pinterventures.  Pinterest is a great place for all of us to go and check out home décor, recipes, DIYs, crafts and so much more. Today I am in a group of talented bloggers sharing our version of some organization inspiration.  There’s only one rule, take a pin we find on Pinterest and recreate it with our own spin.

I found a couple of pins on how to store your Cricut tools on Pinterest, the ones I like are the framed display holders.  Here are some of the inspirations I like.  First photo is from Crafting in the Rain and the second is from Jennifer Maker.

 

 

I love the look of the peg board but wanted to organize mine with things I already have here at home.  Here is what I am using for my Cricut display.

• 11 x 14 frame
• 11 x 14 board
• one mini dowel rod
• scrapbook paper
• E6000
• paint
• drill

A 11 x 14 frame works perfect for my tools.  I placed them on the cut board to figure out how I want them to be.  Made a dot where I want my dowel rod to be.

I drilled 7 holes into my board where I made the dots.  I will cut dowel rods and glue the pegs in the drilled hole with E6000.

I took one dowel rod and cut it 1 ¼ inches 7 times.  I used my Dollar Tree hand saw to cut the 7 pieces off.

Painted the frame and pegs Waverly Chalk paint, Ocean.

Let the frame dry.  Adding the scrapbook paper to the front of the board.  I used wallpaper border adhesive.  Applied it to the back of the paper with a paint sponge.

I used a dowel rod to poke through the paper.

Sanded and painted the pegs the same color as the frame.

Once the pegs dried I applied E6000 into the drilled holes and placed a peg into the hole.

To add the board to the frame I applied E6000 to the inner frame and placed the board into the frame.  I painted the back of the board Ocean as well.

I let that set for a couple hours.

Placed my tools where I wanted them.  So cute!

I am ready to start working with it all.
