On Monday I was walking past the Scope Charity shop in town and spotted an unloved little shelf, only £1.00 it spoke to me and knew I had to have it. Having told myself I didn't need any more projects at the minute I was determined not to have it sitting around for long so in a record for me....
Monday
And back boards removed. Sugar soaped all over, left to dry off. Painted all over in all the tricky spaces using DecoArt Chalky finish acrylic paint, everlasting, 3 coats. The backboards had a red felt over them which didn't want to come off so used mount board to replace the backs.
I had a good rummage through all my pretty papers and came across some sea themed Fabscraps paper. I knew that's what I wanted to use and spent a few hours cutting out to fill the gaps. Despite the careful planning and marking it didn't go exactly to plan but it's okay as you can't see on the picture! Very happy that this is what it looks like now Saturday.
Now to find/make little bits to fill it with!
