Cardboard Box Makeover

I know this isn't a craft site, but for lack of something picturesque this morning, I'll share my little cardboard stove I made for about $2. This was an extremely sturdy box that I just couldn't trash. I had some silver spray paint, some CDs & permanent marker for the burners, metal lids I sprayed black, thread spools& red foam sheet for the knobs, clear page protector for the oven window, and cardboard tube from a pant hanger for the oven handle. All I had to purchase was 5 nuts and bolts for the knobs. The pizza is made of felt. I put Command Strips with hooks on the side to hang the pans and utensils. Now you know!!

How very cute and what a great idea! When we got new appliances for the kitchen we turned the boxes into a castle for my daughter. Such a fun project, and it entertained her for a good while.
