Remember that to-do list I had? Well, I got one of those items crossed off lickety-split: I used my old silverware to create a dresser organizer. It actually turned more into a re-purposing type of project rather than actual DIY.
My silverware box was in really good shape, so other than cleaning it up, even the lining was nice. The “hardest” part of the project was pulling out two of the wood divider things that were for holding the cutlery in place. And it was as easy and just giving it a good yank and twist and they popped right out.
Still, despite being a ridiculously easy project, I’m quite pleased with how it turned out – and a little annoyed I didn’t do it earlier. Seriously, it took me maybe an hour – and that included cleaning up my dresser, which was by far the most challenging bit. 😉
This weekend I also got up to making some miniature books which is a tad tedious in process, but the result is quite nice. Essentially, I stack pieces of thick card cut down to size and glue them together. Paint / color the edges of the card with a gold marker. Then cover it in either paper, or in this case, printed antique book covers I found online. I look forward to making a mini-room for them to someday find a home. 🙂
Oh, hey, and did you notice my nifty-new theme for the blog? It’s been awhile since I updated, so it seemed like the thing to do today. That counts as an accomplishment, right??
That is seriously about it for me this week. What have you been up to? Anything exciting?
Thanks for stopping by. And remember: what happens in the craft room, stays in the craft room! 🙂
