Up-cycled Monogrammed Knife Holder

This little craft had a pleasant surprise for me when I finished.

Back story first: I have never had a real nice knife set. Not even from my wedding. So I would buy a knife here and there and throw it in my kitchen utensil bin.

I thought these monogrammed knife set holders floating around blog land were so cute.

One day at my usual stop at the DI I found this lovely...

I think I got it for less than a $1.

So I spray painted it black. And added a cutsie vinyl monogram.

Then the surprise part for me that it fit ALL the random kitchen knives I bought the last couple years just perfectly!

Looks like I bought it all together at $80+ and added a sticker!

So nice when a craft turns out better than you imagined.
