I had some scraps of wood lying around in my shed and wanted to try and find something to make with them and came up with these ideas. This post is not a tutorial, these were projects that I made before I started making tutorials. The clock below was build using scraps of wood that I had lying around at home.
I saw these pebble table runners and it was love at first sight but did not want to pay the big price tag that went along with buying one. So I tried to make my own. I did not know where to start to find the square mesh that was used for the one in the shop and I like to make my projects from recycled materials so I hunted around the house for something to use. I had an old set of blackout curtains the ones with the rubber backing and some old net curtains. e two together at intervals of 10cm, the idea being that the glue would grab on to the net curtain and the lining would hold the weight if it needed to be moved.
I had some boring mirrors lying around, they were one of my daughter’s impulse buys when she worked at a budget store. So I thought I would have a go at giving them a revamp, rather than leaving them living under the bed. I had used this method before to make a stone table runner for my dressing table and I was so happy with the end results
