Bee happy ....... another cupboard makeover

I have also aquired this cute grey distressed cupboard recently.
 
 
It did have a mirrored glass front but this had been smashed.
 
Glad it wasn't me, don't need any more bad luck!

 
I took of the door panel and the handle so I could then staple chicken wire on the back of it.


 
My roll of chicken wire has come in handy for a couple of jobs now.


 
After cutting the chicken wire to size I stapled carefully on the back of the door.

The door is back on and the handle screwed back on.
 
I love the look of this new cupboard :)





 
What are you changing?

Bee happy .... make a wire crown

After making my notice board with chicken wire I had some cut offs left over.
 
Being me I couldn't let it go to waste so decided to make a crown.
 
 
This is my chicken wire crown.
 
I cannot wear it as it has some sharp bits but it reminds me that I am queen of our house anyway :)

 
To make it fancier I used some jewellery wire and wired on some small beads and sparkly heart buttons.



 
I think I may stand a pillar candle inside it on the hearth.

 
The little dog wasn't sure where to stand during the photo shoot as I had disturbed her sun bathing in the bright morning sunshine. She just had to take a look :)

 
Have you made anything recently?

Bee happy ..... make a notice board

I have been busy making a notice board this weekend.
 
I had a wooden frame left from the kitchen fitters when they put our kitchen together.
 
I sprayed it with white paint.
 
 
I then with the help of Mr Happy cut some chicken wire to size and stapled this to the back of the frame. As the wire was from a roll 4 hands were great as the roll kept curling back up until cut to size.


 
Because the cut ends were really sharp I then used my glue gun and stuck down some thick felt over these to cover them up.

 
My new notice board is ready.
 
I can use it both ways and if I want to hang it on the wall I will just use some ribbon tied around the frame.
 

 
Hope you like my new notice board.
 
All of the hearts are available to buy in my shop.
