Use our creative guide to create your own personalised weekly meal plan!
Weekly planning with the family
Take a fixed day each week with your family to plan all your favourite dishes. Each member can choose a dish that you will prepare in the coming week. This way you avoid discussions at mealtimes and everyone feels involved.
Thanks to the individual storage compartments in our meal plan, the spatulas can be assigned to "categories". For example: Pasta dishes, casseroles, soups, etc.
Preparation and painting of the plywood board
Start by painting the plywood board and, if necessary, the clothes pegs in your favourite colour. Make sure to use even brush strokes and allow the paint to dry completely. Once this is done, apply a protective layer of napkin varnish to the board and the seven clothes pegs. This protects the colours and ensures longevity.
Assembling the stand
Base: Connect two regular blocks with two blocks shortened to 9 cm to form a stable base.
Side panels and partitions: You need 12 blocks, each 10 cm long. Glue two blocks together at the narrow edge and repeat this with the remaining blocks. Then glue these sets onto the painted plywood panel to form the storage compartments.
Finishing the front
Use 4 craft blocks and 4 shortened blocks 9 cm long to close the front. This creates a compartment for your wooden spatulas.
Labelling clothes pegs
Label the clothes pegs with the days of the week using a marker. Attach them to the prepared plywood board using handicraft glue.
Decorating with wooden letters
Give your menu a personal touch with VBS wooden letters. Choose the letters you want and create umlauts by cutting off the end of an "I" and using them as dots. Paint them with craft paint and stick them attractively onto the board.
Customise and label the wooden spatula
Paint the wooden spatulas lightly with craft paint so that the ink does not run when labelling. Once dry, use a Posca marker to write your family's favourite dishes on the spatulas.
Loops of the menu
If you want to loop your menu, drill two holes in the top of the plywood board using a 4 mm hand drill. Thread a piece of cotton cord through the holes and tie a knot - and your menu is ready for its prominent position in your kitchen!
