Photoframe Makeover!

sweet

Hanging on my wall are the 3 patterned cloths I bought from the Supplies Surprise Bazaar but I just can't bring myself to cut them up for a sewing project just yet! So into these photo frames they go, up on display for me to admire till I should decide on a project worthy of their use.

Before that though, Ikea's Nyttja Photoframes needed a little decorating. I felt they were a little too bare and blockish, so I gave them a wooden border on the outside to make a softer appearance with some pearly/gold beaded strings dashed in to suit my fancy.

Clock Makeover!

Before.... After!

Say hello to my cheap RM5 ikea clock :

After two faithful years.

 Its background disintegrated into crumbs of plastic after a few years of hanging on my wall, but its mechanism was still working fine. So instead of getting myself a new clock I decided a makeover was in place.

if you'd like to use this, you're certainly most welcome to!

 I drew and printed out my own background for the clock, then cut it to fit. I took everything apart, wiped them clean, scraped as much of the remains of the background out as I could, and then gave the frame a nice sky blue paint job.

ready for assembly

Then I pretty much glued everything together.

Now scroll down to admire how pretty its become :

Pretty neat huh? I made myself a fancy new clock with just under RM7 : >
