Diy cardboard toy storage

Organizing is always on the go, whether because your living in a small house or your kids have to many toys but less space to utilize or you dont want to buy those too expensive toy storage boxes and you hate those ugly looking plastic bins moving in your kids room. So heres a simple diy cardbox idea turned into toy storage box, plus its real simple to make it.
For cardboard toy box you will need:
  • one big cardboard box
  • paints
  • paper cutters
Step 1:
cut the cardboard box from the sides other than opening sides, i just simply put my giant tray on it and trace the shape with pencil and cut it out with the cutter. This is what it looks like after cutting it
my sweet potato in his underconstruction toy box.

Step 2:
Now put it at your backyard or balcony to paint it and take the help of your husband like me or if your kids are big enough to help you they will enjoy painting it according to their taste. So use as many colours as you want and make as many shapes you want too, I just printed my hands on the toy box.You can also spray paint your box. after painting the sides and top part just wait for the paint to get dry, then turn it over and start painting again and paint all over the box.

Let it dry out completely at an outside area for few hours depending on the temperature. Here it was too hot that it just dried up in less then 1 hour and here is the ready product.

strawberry icecream without a machine

Today is 1st of April... Time is flying by way too quickly! It may feel like summer has just started . And that means there’s plenty of time for ice cream – yay!
If you havnt ever tried homemade ice cream, give it a try this time. You will be thankful for your decision. It is a super perfect recipe using only 3 ingredients. It doesn’t require an ice cream machine either! This ice cream really exceeded my expectations as it was amazingly creamy and luxurious.I have seen this recipe here.

Ingredients:

  • strawberries     10 oz
  • cream                2/3 cup
  • sugar                 1/2 cup

Method:
1. Blend your strawberries and sugar until they make a smooth puree.
2. Process until the fruit is completely chopped.
3. With the blender running slowly, pour in the cream until fully mixed.
4. Pour into a airtight box / dish and pop it in the freezer for at least 6 hours. I left mine overnight to be sure it was set. after every 3 hours takeout the dish and whisk it for 2 minutes. twice in 6 hours.
5. Serve and enjoy!



I made mine with fresh strawberries that I blended into a puree. You could use any fruit you like or buy a ready made fruit puree and just add that if you wanted.
