BBQ Grill Organizer in Red, White, and Blue

54 Shares

Today I’m proud to be hosting our monthly DIY challenge! This month we have a group of amazing bloggers getting ready for 4th of July celebrations with a red, white, and blue challenge. I’ll be sharing my red, white and blue BBQ grill organizer.

I love it when a friend texts me a picture while they’re at the thrift store and says, “These reminded me of you.” Is that a compliment that my friends think of me while they’re at thrift stores? Anyway, my friend texted me a picture of these windows and told me they were $3.00 each. But they were at a shop across town that I don’t ever go to so I asked her to pick them up for me. Her hubby went to bat for me and got them ALL for $6.00! I’m just using one for today’s project so sign up for my thrift store makeover email list if you want to see what I did with the rest. I’ll post about them in a few weeks.

Supplies Needed for BBQ Grill Utensil Organizer

I’m not really sure what to call my creation so for now it’s a “grill utensil organizer.” Here’s what I used:

old window (plexiglass)
paint brushes
paint brushes and paint brushes acrylic paint
paint brushes
paint brushes
stencil
spray adhesive
cup hooks

First, I followed the instructions on the spray adhesive for a temporary bond and adhered the stencil to the plexiglass.

My idea was to alternate red and blue states so they wouldn’t touch but that’s much harder than it sounds!

But I was pretty happy with how it turned out. I also gave the frame another coat of white paint.

I wasn’t able to remove the knob that was on the window so I decided to just add some cup hooks on either side. For now it’s hanging with some jute string but I’ll probably add some permanent nails to hang it by the hinges soon.
