## Caption

I’ve always loved projects that combine creativity and practicality, so I used my cricut Explore 3 machine to turn a simple butcher block into a cutting board that looks like a cookbook. #ad 
After cutting the wood to size, I designed a “spine” logo in CricutDesign Space, and used Smart Vinyl to make a quick stencil for staining. I brushed on a rich, dark wood stain, peeled the vinyl back once it dried, and sealed it with a food-safe finish. Now it looks like a cookbook sitting right on my kitchen counter.
It’s a cute way to add personality to your kitchen and a fun reminder that your Cricut can do more than paper crafts.
Would you try making one for your home? Comment BOARD and I’ll send you all the links! #cricutmade
