Turning a toolbox into an upcycled hot cocoa bar.
UPCYCLE FAIRYTALE
Once Upon a Time……
There lived an upcycle queen. She loved to wave her magic wand to turn items into new treasures.
One day, the queen was given a toolbox, to show all people in the land how to use it in a new way. The queen thought and thought about what to do. Finally, she knew exactly what to turn it into.
She waved her wand and POOF…….. it became an UPCYCLED HOT COCOA BAR!
The queen summoned items from all around the castle to help her ~

The villagers came from near and far to the Annual Kingdom Christmas Celebration.
Each time someone opened the drawers, magically, everything was right where they needed it……spoons and napkins and topping galore.
THE QUEEN’S UPCYCLED HOT COCOA BAR TOPPINGS
- Whipped Cream
- Caramel Sauce
- Sprinkles
- Peppermints
- Powdered Sugar
- Cinnamon Sticks
- Marshmallows
- Cocoa
(Other topping ideas – white chocolate chips, flavored syrups, liqueurs, crushed toffee/candies, chocolate covered spoons, etc)
When the queen ran out of any supplies, she would wave her wand, and open up the bottom tool chest for all her extra treats.
Because the queen wanted her land to stay beautiful, she used items that wouldn’t turn to rubbish. Her vintage cups and spoons would be used for many more special events at the castle.
The queen happily watched as lords, knights, and peasants were merrily singing and dancing together through the night. She knew it was the MAGIC cocoa!
Hot chocolate is like a hug from the inside
The celebration was the largest in all the kingdom and a good time was had by all.
THE END!

Why this is so clever. I would be so torn to use for tools or the hot cocoa bar but I think the bar would win out.
Debra, It could be cocoa bar in nov and dec and tools that rest of the time 🙂
What a brilliant idea! I wouldn’t of ever thought of using a tool box as a cocoa bar. But it works perfectly as one.
