Hello and happy Friday everyone! Tomorrow is Tristan’s birthday and I’m pretty sure I’m more excited about it than he is. We plan on going to the zoo and out to dinner tomorrow, then going to a Day out with Thomas the Train on Sunday. It’s going to be such a great weekend 🙂
Earlier this week when I shared Tristan’s Super Why Party I mentioned that Alpha Pig’s tool box was actually a DIY. When I first came up with the idea to have snacks served inside the character’s props, I started searching high and low for the perfect rustic toolbox like the one that Alpha Pig has on the show.
I almost got these beauties but since I really only needed one and not three, I decided that I would try to mimic this design myself. (Although I am almost positive that I would have found good uses for this set!)
-
6ft 1×6 pine board
- 3/8″ x 12″ Pipe Nipple
- 2 3/8″ Pipe End Caps
- 3/4″ Spade Drill Bit
-
Wood screws
Using a straight edge I connected the marks to draw lines to show where my cuts needed to be made.
It could be left as is but it also looks really nice filled up with seasonal décor items.
