Kitchen Utensil Crock Mini-Make Over

I had been wanting a kitchen utensil crock for... oh, I don't know... forever! I kept looking for them, and was never happy with what I found, or refused to pay the price that was being asked. Luckily for me, my good friend bought me one for Christmas, and I love it!! Today I thought it deserved a mini-make over! :) 

I have never used my Cricut to cut vinyl before, though I knew it could, and even had purchased some vinyl a couple of months ago, along with the transfer tape, but I could never bring myself to use it....( for fear of becoming addicted, I think!  I was right to be afraid, because I am now totally addicted!!). 

So, armed with an idea, vinyl, a Cricut and the Sure Cuts Alot 2 software... I came up with an idea, and went for it! :) 

So, here are some before and after pictures: 

Before:

My very useful and most loved utensil crock

And After (without utensils)

Still useful and loved, but now it's got STYLE :)

After (with utensils):

Just doin' it's job! ;)

The coolest thing is, that I downloaded the picture off the web, and used the Trace feature on my SCAL2 software to create a file to cut with my Cricut and wah-lah!!  If you are a Cricut owner, I would highly recommend SCAL2. I bought it about 2 weeks ago and have used it a lot since then!! 

This NOT so big of a mess was brought to you by,
