Silhouette Challenge: What’s Cooking Recipe Holder

Today I'm honored to be a part of a group of bloggers who participated in a Silhouette Challenge.  I received my Silhouette Cameo machine for my birthday last year.  It was on my wishlist, so I was excited when I received it.  I have tackled some projects, but I still have a lot to learn in regards to the machine and what it can do.  I hope to stretch myself and learn more about its capabilities throughout this year.

One of the easiest materials I have found so far to work with is vinyl.  Today's project is a super simple vinyl project.  Last year, I put together a recipe book.  This was a huge job of weeding out old cards and rewriting and organizing what recipes were left.  You can see the full post on this organizational project, here.  Since I spent so much time rewriting my recipe cards, I was looking for a way to hold my card when I take it out of the book and use it to cook.  Often, I found my cards would get spills on them and get ruined during cooking.

I decided to make my own “What's Cooking?” recipe holder using my Silhouette to cut out the letters.  If you don't have a Silhouette, then paint or stencil the letters on instead!

Here is how I did this project.

I began with a wooden pants hanger.  You could leave it brown, but I painted it with white paint to match my kitchen cabinets.  After painting, I used my Silhouette to cut out the words; What's Cooking?

Finally, I tied a string bow around it for decoration.

Super simple, but sometimes those simple projects are the ones that make the most difference.  I love that I can hang my recipe right beside my stove when I'm cooking and see the directions without getting my card messy.  It's the little things, right friends?

    That is such a great idea and one that I am truly loving. It gets it up off the counter where I usually have my ingredients. Thanks so much for sharing this with us at the DI & DI Link Party.
