I know, when it comes to shower gifts you don’t want to be the one giving the mundane objects, even if they were on the registry list.
Of course this isn’t a problem when one is creative.
I went to Smart and Final to buy a #10 can full of whole tomatoes, I’ve used some of them, but most are in smaller containers in the freezer. Following the instructions for #10 Caddy I got to work.
I payed attention to other items on the registry, looks like the bride likes simple grey fabrics. I had to really dig in my stash to find quiet fabrics.
I added an insert in the bottom, a tin can is a tin can, better have it completely covered.
The instructions are well written. I followed the measurements exactly and it fit the can perfectly.
.The pockets flaring off the side are practical and pretty.
Those spoons and spatula suddenly don’t look so boring.
And look! It matches the apron!
You can’t quite see, but I also made 4 napkins out a simple white text fabric. Some of the bride’s girlfriends wanted to know if I sell these items. No I don’t, no one pays me for the time it takes to make something handmade. I am thrilled to make gifts to share with people I care about, but it isn’t worth the money.
Basically what I’m saying it, it is worth being my friend.
