Project Week

This week I have been all about various projects. I can't get enough. I've been changing light bulbs, reading up on how to make a washer toss game, and swapping out storage solutions around our place.  Even today when sniffling and coughing from a surprise cold, I had to put the final touches on my latest endeavor.

Making plastic magazine holders pretty with fabric.  


It started like this:  


four plastic holders
spray glue
fabric (a gift from Ghanaian staff-perfect!)
scissors
box cutter
thin cardboard (for covering spaces and making edges the same)
coffee-optional, but necessary as this was a night project.


Cardboard glued-check. Next went the fabric, and cardstock to cover the seams inside. Ta dah!
I looked online for tips to do this, but everyone either made theirs from cereal boxes (not as sturdy), or designed it from sturdy cardboard (not necessary since I already had the structure. I am very satisfied with the final product!
