So I decided to give mine a little washi treatment.
Started like this.
Then I just kept wrapping tape around it.
DIY Delight or Disaster? YUCK!! I hate it, so gaudy I kept thinking this will have to look better at some point, sadly no, no it did not, back to the drawing board. Total Disaster!
Thanks for reading,
Mel xo
Wow that looks so cool!! Thanks for the lovely mention :)
ReplyDeleteI think it looks adorable!
ReplyDeleteLove it +++. Please share on Bowerbirds Journal ASAP :) Agatha will love to see this as she just did her wedding shoes.
ReplyDeleteBut I love it!! It does not look gawdy at all :-)
ReplyDeleteNot gawdy! Looks pretty. Girl, it's a delight :-)
ReplyDeleteYou are so funny. I still think it looks better than the plain Jane before. It's probably just a disaster in your mind because it didn't turn out how you had imagined in your head.
ReplyDeleteIt looks way better, Mel ! And you must have used a heck of a lot of tape !
ReplyDeleteYou're too hard on yourself. I like it. I think it's the purple that's throwing me off so if it were my cute cover, I'd ditch the purple and repeat the top half all the way down, with the lace and the hearts.
ReplyDeleteI like it but if you dont spray paint it a fun color and modpodge or stencil on your monogram
ReplyDeleteit looks like a little suitcase :D
ReplyDeleteI really like it, Mel!! I don't see yuck at all. Look at the difference between before and after, it's really cute, and I think it looks a fancy suit case, too!
ReplyDeleteI was only looking at my boring hard cover this morning Mel - thanks for the inspiration to get off my butt and do something with it! :)
ReplyDeleteare you crazy?!? I think it looks like an old timey suitcase or something. kinda cool!
ReplyDeleteI kinda like it too Mel, the black lace tape is so pretty! I do like one of the suggestions above though to spray paint it and add a monogram. But you've got do what you feel happy with, you've got to look at it after all lol!
ReplyDeleteHave a great day hun xx
Ohhh I like the Paris tape! I dunno why you disastered it, I think it's fun!
ReplyDeleteI don't know Mel....anything that makes a sewing machine look snazzier is a winner in my book. Damien just has the plastic/vinyl cover that he came with,he could use some help.
ReplyDeleteI love it! It looks great.
ReplyDeleteI have a hard cover, too, and think this is a great idea. Maybe I'm gaudy?! :)
ReplyDeleteReally? I think it looks fantastic Mel. I would call this a delight!
