Always Looking


As people pin my ideas from Pinterest I get to see their boards and saw where someone had pinned these Mickey Mouse head bowls that Target used to carry.  Of course they no longer carry these items so I had to figure out a way to make my own.  Well I did find the bowls on eBay for about 30 dollars, but I laughed and said no way was I paying that when Target originally sold them for 8.99.  I was walking around my local Wal-Mart one day looking at the seasonal items in the lawn and garden area.  I walked by the stand that held the plastic plant containers and thought maybe.  I bought the deep ones, one large and two small.  Took them home and painted the outside of them black, it took two coats, and glued the pieces together to look like Mickey Mouse.  My Mickey Mouse chip and dip set cost me around $3.00.  




Also at Wal-Mart I found these red barrels that I picked up to put the kids juice boxes in and bottled water.  Painted two white dots on the front to represent mickey's buttons.


Stay tuned for more serving pieces to come.

  1. hi! um, let's just call you a lifesaver! btw, I found you via pinterest & will be repinning the pin on how to do this because I too have been on the hunt for those $8.99 mickey mouse bowls- I saw Amazon has one for $45. No way! Your idea is brilliant!
