PIMP YOUR PIN BOARD

Sonntag, 20. September 2015


A thing everybody owns, nevertheless seldom pretty to look: at the good old cork pin board. Cork is indeed trendy right now but I love white. The Wall has been around for a year, but it had to be white, so my man had to paint it white. So far so good so what. The Wall has to be pimped. 

In DEPOT (store) I've gotten paper tape, pretty paper tape, and  the weekday buttons. I love black & white so the paper tape had to be black and white too. Of course it is entirely up to you, just pick your favourite. If your cork wall has not yet lost it's natural look, paint it white and let it dry. After the paint has dried you need the nails. Plug the nails next to the frame in the cork. The nails must protrude slightly so that you can wrap the tape around. I sticked the nails at the same distance. But you can do so as you like best. On my wall the distance between nails is about 10 cm. And then the wrapping starts with a knot on a bottom nail going criss cross upwards - some times I skipped a nail for not getting too symmetrical. The last wound end with a knot around the nail. And done! Made it look nice quickly.



YOU NEED:

1 cork pin board // white paint // nails 20 mm (if you decide on wider tape go with longer nails) // paper tape

Currently  grandma and grandpa are here for a visit. Today is not a good day  to do something outdoors. So we drove in the biggest shopping mall in Gmunden  - shop in green - our SEP. Grandma took a pair of shorts, because she did not reckon  sunny August weather. And  Mommy was most happy ... it's SUMMER-SALE. I love to make deals and I would like to introduce to you..

DIY - IKEA LAMP BECOMES A POLKADOT DREAM

Mittwoch, 2. September 2015


Today I dashed in our bedroom and thought to myself: Looks nice - but something is missing. A few dots would not be bad at all. We have the super cheap but still beautiful REGOLIT hanging lamp from IKEA hanging in the bedroom. To make it happen we went with Mia to the Pagro shop - for the kids a new world.They did not want to get out of the store. Everywhere there were new things to discover.
But Mami has also discovered  small black round stickers. Yeah. Just right for the lamp.

Of course, there were complications. The stickers did not stick because the air was dusty. So I dusted the lamp. Then attached the stickers one more time - but a few stickers have still fallen off again.Then I thought I'll get  the hairspray from the bath. And look - it worked.
