I wanted to do something a little different and my DW had come across these great vintage pencil sharpeners while antique shopping with a friend in Comox.
A quick visit to Michaels and Ikea and I was ready to try and bring the idea I had to life.
Follow the pictures below if you care to try your own.
 |
1 - Package of Vintage Cardstock from Michaels,
1 - 2$ Photo Frame from Ikea, and
1 - 1$ Toilet Pencil Sharpener (You can get these online!) |
 |
| Remove glass, and backing from picture frame. |
 |
Use the backing as a template for cutting a piece
of the cardstock to size. |
 |
| Use a basic glue-stick to attach the card-stock to the backing. |
 |
It is up to you, if you want to put the glass back in the
frame, or leave it out. I chose to leave it out. |
 |
Use a hot glue-gun to mount the "fixture" - I had to improvise with a tooth-pick
to keep the toilet from sagging once mounted. |
 |
| Finished product. |
 |
| Repeat ad nauseum. Not bad for under $10, am I right? |
Wow, very impressive Tom.These look great. So should I looks forward to future posts on scrapbooking? I'm only kind of kidding.
ReplyDeleteAs long as scrap booking involves hand-to-hand combat and gambling, I'm game. What is this "scrap booking" you speak of??
