Recently I’ve made several new projects to decorate my kitchen. If you’ve been a reader of this blog for a while, you also know that I have a food blog, Amanda’s Cookin’, and that I love to cook and bake. Because of that, I have loads of different utensils. They were completely consuming my drawer space and getting harder and harder to find, so making these utensil holders just seemed to be a given.
Note: I used my Silhouette machine
I started with these plastic beanie baby boxes
hoarder junkie that I am, I of course said yes!
I apologize that I don’t have step by step photos. My camera batteries choked on me in the middle of the project.
I gave them a quick spray with some primer
If you have a Silhouette machine
I printed the designs onto vinyl and added them to the containers, being sure they were all lined up with each other. Once I had attached the vinyl I sprayed them with two coats of acrylic sealer (matte finish)
For the fabric liner, I simply cut strips of fabric from an old tablecloth and doubled them up using hot glue
I love the way they turned out. I hope that you like them too! They have been a great way to free up some drawer space and keep all my different utensils separate.

I love love love this idea! I'm also loving your kitchen :)
Haha, Nutmeg Nanny said EXACTLY what I was going to! Thanks for the project idea! I really think we're going to do this.
Most excellent idea and project. Functional and sooooo cute. Looks really great in your really great-looking kitchen! Love them!
Amanda, you are always soooo creative. These utensil boxes are very elegante!
SO DARN CUTE! I love them!
this is so cute! what a fab rehab of those darn beanie babies things!
Great idea to keep everything in reach,utensils can get out of hand this looks like a good way to have them handy ,Thanks for the Idea.
Stunning…wish we had so much DIY here.
I need you to be my neighbor so I can have cool stuff.. LOL.
Thanks you guys! These fall into my "favorite projects" category :)
I love the look of those, simple and very well done. I use a Longagerbger basket to hold my utensils and I totally regret it as it's really taken a beating.
Found you from Tidy Mom
Amanda – I really love these! It's really unbelievable how clever you are.
so glad i sopped by this morning! this solves my dilemma in my kitchen as I have a ever growing collection of whisks and now when I pull something out of the canister holding my kitchen tools, "everything" comes out!
thanks!
Awesome idea. Never thought about separating them utensils and label it. Even though I do use separate stuff for sweets and savory.
Thank you!
SOOO CUTE! I love it! I love the labels on them. Just beautiful.

These are absolutely fantastic! I would love to make these for my kitchen because my kitchen drawers are out of control. Come link up at I Made It! Monday at Ninth Street Notions.
Cute I like these!
I love these. They turned out great. I'm hosting We're Organized Wdnesday through Saturday and would love for you to join the party.
Those are great! I've been looking for something different to store my utensils in – thanks for sharing!
These are so cute! And it is so clever to keep your baking, cooking, serving utensils seperate! Mine are all jumbled in one big container….your way is sooo much better! Good job.

Great project! I'm including it in my Craft links this week
What a great idea! These look so adorable in your cute kitchen. Thanks for sharing!
What a cute idea! So many different uses for this idea too (craft supply holders for my daughter's room come to mind). Thanks so much!
The containers looks fantastic. They add so much character to your kitchen.
I like how the utinsels are seperated. I usually keep all mine in one big ceramic jar.
this adds up to my list of the craftiest ideas for my new home!
