\nRecently while browsing on the Argos App during a clearance sale I came across a set of shelves that I absolutely fell in love with. The triple wooden shelves were shaped like houses and hollow inside, sporting a backboard and sturdy sides. The colours weren’t to my taste but upon looking up the materials of the product I was satisfied that I could modify them to my tastes.<\/p>\n
Reduced to clear from \u00a344.99 to just \u00a317.99 I got an absolute bargain! The shelves are triple white houses that you screw together to form a solid block. What I wanted to use them for was our baby nursery. The theme we had chosen was yellow and grey, gender neutral\u00a0and colours that could be easily adapted over time. One of the back boards of this shelving set was grey with white stars, which was perfect! But I needed to customise the other two. Luckily as well the grey stars was the largest one, so all I needed was to alter the smaller two, and this is how I did it.<\/p>\n
On Amazon a while ago I was searching for good quality crafting card and paper. I came across a brand called Dovecraft, and purchased several packets from them in various colours and sizes. I was lucky enough to get some beautiful Yellow and Grey ones, which were reasonably priced at the time too. I began to figure out how I was going to fix and cut these pieces to fit the triangle back boards of the shelving. Eventually I completed my designs and began working on it.<\/span><\/p>\n Here are some images of me working on the pieces. As you can see I used very strong double sided tape, cutting the card before hand for size. Then I made sure it was fully stuck down once I was finished by leaving the wood panel underneath some heavy books for forty eight hours before screwing to the shelf.<\/p>\n The finished shelving with the Argos design would usually look like this…<\/p>\n My Top Tips<\/strong> for making craft work for you are;<\/p>\n \u2729\u00a0<\/strong>Be clear on your design so you know what the end result should look like. \u2729\u00a0Review\u00a0\u2729<\/strong><\/p>\n Name:<\/strong> DoveCraft Collections Designer Paper Pack Quality 5<\/span>\u2729 \u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n \u2729\u00a0Review\u00a0\u2729<\/strong><\/p>\n Name: <\/strong>Argos Home House Shelf Quality 5<\/span>\u2729 I have loved how my shelf has turned out, I’m very happy with it and how I made it unique to our home. I would recommend items from Argos and always read the reviews on the website. The paper from DoveCraft is excellent too, and if you’re a keen craft person then I would highly recommend their products. They do a huge range of colours and also sizes of Paper and Card, so it’s definitely worth a look if you have been inspired by what I have done. \u2729\u2729<\/strong>\u2729<\/strong><\/p>\n I hope you have enjoyed reading this post.
