I bought this a few weeks ago for a buck-fifty.
I knew what a wanted to do with it, but then I lost the top. I washed the bottom and it sat in my kitchen being all sad and lonely for about three weeks. Then the other day, I was cleaning the back of my car out, and there it was... the top. This was another of those speedy projects that I love to do. I just painted the top, wet my paper, glued it to the top and then used a little Mod Podge to make it all stick. I decided to paint the handle red t make it pop. Plus, it matches my Kitchen Aid.
Here's my after
Those cookies are a Martha recipe that someone linked up to Foodie Friday last week. I'll be featuring those this week so make sure you stop back by on Friday.
