Anyone else feeling the need for a declutter or dehoard?
This persistent rain is making the house feel dank...
I think 2014 is the year to use that stash
and to either get on with upcycling projects
or to move them on to pastures new.
Today's challenge was to cover a shabby ripped blue suede cube.
Rather than this going to landfill
I thought I'd have a go at covering it..
an idea that I have had for at least two years!
After finding some suitable curtain remnants
I set to it.
I got a rough idea from here
though as you know by now
I am the fudge queen...
so I was as surprised as you that it came out as well as it did!
I hand stitched the bottom side to the original fabric.
Who knew those binding skills would be so handy?
This is my first attempt at covering anything.
Practise makes perfect they say,
so this may will be repeated with something less dull...
though I am thinking of printing, stencilling or painting
a pattern maybe....and that's another project!
My next project will be to tackle the
scruffy beach hut thing...
decoupage possibly?
Further ahead are my bar stools which I have had forever.
I like the rusty look,
but maybe it's time for a refurb.
Whats your thursday project going to be?
