Wardrobe fit for a fashionista

Tania needs somewhere to store her one pair of shoes... time to build her a wardrobe!




You need a box that opens on one side, pieces of cardboard or plywood cut to the depth of the box for the shelves, paint or duct tape to decorate it and a stick to make the railing for hanging clothes.

I had a shitty time - I chose a box that seemed durable and sturdy, however the label was impossible to paint over. In the end I had to cover the bloody thing in paper and paint the paper instead. Then my duct tape wouldn't stick properly. So the final product isn't exactly what I was going for :/




I went for the combination of blue and zebra print :D




Originally, I'd intended to hang a mirror in a zebra frame on the inside of the door. I even made one... However, due to the fact that I ended up covering the box in paper which had to be taped down... I ended up with zebra tape where the mirror should be.


I used an old mirror and cut out a frame from cardboard, then covered it in duct tape , then secured the mirror from the back with tape and a sheet of paper. I guess it will end up hanging on the wall since it can no longer go inside the wardrobe...






Back to the wardrobe, time to stick in the shelves and the railing...

Cute vase 2 + bonus spoon

We had a pee cup... so it's only right if we use a fecal sample jar now! :D
Let's turn it into a cute vase... and bonus: a spoon :)



Trendy seat




From pee cup to trendy seat? Easy :D You just need 2 pieces of material, a pee cup and some round cotton pads. I used a piece of black leather and a pink microfibre cloth.



For the base cut out a circle slightly bigger than the bottom of the cup and glue it onto the bottom and sides.
Then dab some glue on the cup and roll it up in a bigger piece of material, then cut off the excess. Fold a little of the material into cup and glue to the inside of the rim.







For the cushy seat - cut out a circle a lot bigger than the lid. Place the cotton pads in between the material and lid to get that soft cushion effect. Fold the excess of the material onto the sides and inside of the lid, gluing it on securely. Voila!
