WHAT'S IN YOUR CUPBOARD?......

As spring bursts in to bloom, the urge to get my house in order is pushing me to finally to attack the ever growing 'To Do' list.  So, in my 2nd lesson in 'How To Do It Yourself', here's how to make a bare bit of wall look a lot more attractive.........

1. Consider the space............bit naked right?

2. Dig around in your cupboard for something to fill the space.  I found a 200 year old silk Chinese coat - I'm sure you'll find something similar - look hard........

3. So, with your Heath Robinson thinking cap on, consider how you're going to hang it on the wall.......first drill the hole (see last post for lessons on 'How To') and then rummage in the boot of your car to find that bit of discarded cardboard and the leftover strip of floor beading - you have that in your car too, right?  Start to think about how to make your frame......

4.  You're nearly there.......bit of sticking in a Blue Peter kind of way, and then cover the frame with a couple of pieces of vintage hopsack linen that you also find in the boot of the car (note - this is a very good way of clearing out your car boot - see how beneficial DIY can be)? 

5. Your hard work has paid off as you hang your 'artwork' on the wall.

PLEASE NOTE - it is not a good idea for this to be adopted by your other half for hanging their tie, shirt, jumper or dressing gown from.  You are given permission to ban them to the sofa if they persist.
