Who doesn’t love IKEA ?
We are proud owners of several bookcases and always found them to be both practical and functional. We do think they can be a little bland though and that’s why this simple idea makes it on to our top 10.
There’s nothing hard about this one. We are using this in our office as a room divider and have access to half of the shelves in the front and half from behind
One of the first things we ever did with an off-cut of oilcloth fabric was to cover a notebook, which looked so good, that we have made a habit out of it. We love it and think it makes a nice change from “Contact”.
It’s also a handy way to decorate the kids school books
Instructions:
First identify what book you want to cover and make sure your off-cut is large enough to cover the outside.
One easy way to make a quick and colourful impact is to re-upholster chairs or stools in Oilcloth. We have done this many times to great effect and it never fails to impress (hopefully you will think so too).
Often we end up with offcuts and ends of rolls and little bits of fabric laying around. When this happens, our favourite use is to cover old Milo Tins. Its so easy and looks so good that we have actually had people coming into the shop asking if they could buy the tins
