A Colourful headboard for our bed

I got some packing pallets and stripped the planks off. Next I glued some printed tissue papers (which are very cheap) onto the planks using PVA or school glue.

I tried to make them nice and bright but at the same time keeping them shabby looking.

I also used hand made papers and gift wrapping paper too. Fabric was another thing I used for covering some of the planks.

Next A light frame was screwed to the wall so I could use it to screw the planks into position
 

It is now complete :)

This idea has been inside my head for quite some time so I am glad it is finally done and I can move on to the next thing.

Decoupage Frames.....

I was given these round white pressed wood frames.............they were ugly!  I had them for over a year before  having a Eureka moment and deciding to cover them in odd bits of fabrics that I have over fromo other projects and also paper scraps and buttons etc..........

They are approx 85cm (33.5 ") with an opening in th middle of 70 cm (27.5")

I had two of them so played around a bit until deciding to place a mirro into one and a felt mosaic into the other. It was a lot of fun.

Using basic white school glue (PVA) and voila thats it.
