My desk-diaper-play-kitchen-ma-bob

I've seen many online DIY tutorial thing-a-ma-jigs recently on how to convert a desk, nightstand, shelf, or porcupine into a child's play kitchen. They are great. Using materials you have on hand is much better than purchasing everything separate or a prefab kit. To demonstrate how awesome these things are I shall now plug someone else's blog; her husband actually installed a semi-working sink. Thank you Nap Time Crafter.

So for our oldest's 3rd birthday I am hoping to turn what used to be a desk into a play kitchen. If you read some of my older posts there once was a desk that became a diaper station. It shall now and forever more be the basis for a play kitchen. Probably. Hopefully. Maybe. We'll see...

I promised more than a year ago to post a pic of the diaper station, here it is. Not much changed I can assure you.

Baby feet wine glasses.

Ok I'm bored and bad things happen when I'm bored. I love my wine glasses but they are a bit vanilla. So I decided to put my kid's first foot prints on them.

Step 1. Gather your supplies.
You will need:

• Tracing or printer paper
• a fine tipped pen (I use Zig 05 tip)
• a copy of your baby's footprints or other picture you wish to use
• scissors
• scotch tape
• Rubbing alcohol
• paper towel
• glass paint (I used Gallery Glass Window Color found at Hobby Lobby)
• fine tipped paint brush (I used a 0)
• a steady hand

Step 1: Trace and cut out foot prints.

Step 2: Tape the prints inside the wine glass. Wipe off the outside of the glass with alcohol to remove oil from fingers.

If you are adding handprints or a name place ALL of the designs before moving to step 3.

Step 3: Using the origional prints for reference; carefully paint the prints onto the OUTSIDE of the wine glass.

Enjoy!

Stay green,
