Description

Put a little pep in your schlep for your next outdoor picnic or happy hour. Create personalized, lovely caddies to tote your picnic essentials. You Will Need: - scrapbook paper - 4 or 6 pack cardboard drink caddies - a hot glue gune (and glue) - scissors, a ruler and a pencil for creating your templates (If you're using the Trader Joe's soda four packs, you can use the template I've attached to this project)

Instructions

  1. Small root beer

    Start with old drink caddies. If you're using soda caddies from Trader Joe's, you're in luck - I've uploaded my templates to share.

  2. Small fold 2

    If you're starting from scratch, flatten your caddy and trace the sides onto your scrapbook paper. I recommend doing a trial version on plain (and cheaper) paper first. Once you've got a template that works, cut out the cover and fold along seams. I also drew and cut flaps to make a smoother, printed edge along the bottom.

  3. Small box top

    Glue the template to your caddy along the seams and flaps.

  4. Small covering handle

    Trace and cut a template for the handle.

  5. Small mike on blanket

    Fill with treats and enjoy!
