Muffin Tin for Recipes - Scrap Within Reach



I am not a cook. Not at all. I take no pleasure in cooking whatsoever. There are some things that I do have to make over and over again though, because my kids ask me to. However, although I know exactly how to cook these things, I always second-guess myself as to the ingredient quantities. Was that 1 tsp or 1 tbsp?? For months now, I've had those recipes on random sheets of paper on my fridge. Since I don't like clutter, I always thought it looked bad. When I saw this muffin tin at the dollar store, I had the idea to use it as a kitchen decoration where I could store those recipes. On there, you can find the ingredients to the three recipes I make the most often.

Simply cut your Cottage paper to size and glue to your muffin tin. I used Zip Dry glue. Once dry, use an x-acto knife to cut out three of the circles. This step is actually a lot easier than I would it was going to be. Print your recipes, punch out the circle and glue to the bottom of the muffin tins. Use rub-ons to add the recipe name. Add buttons, flowers, gems and title, pop-dotting every other letter. Add magnets to the back and place on your fridge. Voila!

Supplies:
Muffin tin (for 4 muffins)
Scrap Within Reach patterned paper, The Cottage collection;
Scrap Within Reach chipboard letters, The Cottage collection;
Arctic Frog rub-on letters;
American Crafts plastic flowers;
Kaiser Crafts pearls;
Dollar store gems;
Random buttons;
