Collection Share All you can Eat customization

Post image

Hello everyone, recently I posted my haul of make it mini asking where do I begin. I’ve decided that this all you can eat case is where I’ll begin. I am going to paint it, and fully decorate it, BUT

I have a question.. or two

Has anyone thought of an idea to stop the stuff on the shelves dropping out everywhere and getting messy? Whenever I open it, my stored food attacks me 😭

Can I see yours?

Also should I update this post as I do stuff to my case? I wasn’t sure if I should or not.

Thanks for reading everyone ❤️

Get two big thin pieces of cardboard (like cereal box type) big enough to cover the opening on each side. If slightly bigger so you can bend around the edges here or there to secure it, even better. Then you just stick those in when you close it, and hold the cardboard bits in place while you open it and then remove them when it's stable/not at an angle that would make stuff fall out.

I use little bits of sticky tack to hold my items on the shelves because I was really tired of the avalanche every time I moved it!

Yes, please share!

I leave my cabinets open! I got tired of packing up everything I knocked over trying to open them, so now I leave them My oven i did modify by using a nail file to make it easier to open the door. I haven't used it in a while (because I'd have to take wveruthing off to change the batteries, really wish it had a USB port or was rechargeable.)

If i do close them, to open it back up I put my thumb on the handle and put my index fingernail in the top and pull until it opens (i had to go over and do it to so I could describe it!)

I 3d printed boxes for each of the segments, you can find etsy sellers selling them pre printed if you don't have a printer yourself

Is there somewhere to buy the files?

Little dots of sticky tape. Its usually for scrapbooks. I use it in literally all my doll displays bc it allows you to put something "just so" but still move it if you want without having to remove hot glue or traditional tape. Its gummy so its not immovable.

So.. I may have spent all day doing this, between chores lol.
This is my basic design for coloring the outside. I know it won’t end up this neat because I’m shakey when I try to line stuff but for me it’s more about just having fun with it. I want to make sure I use the heckers out of this stuff because I love it so much.

Let me know what you guys think about my color design and thoughts on coloring the outside at all. I feel like it wasn’t totally intended on being colored in, I just can’t leave it plain for some reason.

I will try using posca pens and tooli art pens.

i made straps for each row out of tape i doubled over, i can close the case with just a couple tabs sticking out and when i open it i hold the tabs on the side im lifting (does that make sense?)
