C.R.A.F.T. # 48: Desk Addition

May 22, 2010 By Jamie Dorobek 18 Comments

I recently made over my office desk…
BUT
it still needed a little something,
so here’s what I did… I used wall decals to spruce it up!
 


The wall decals are from IKEA and I used the leftover decals from my canvas art, and a can of paint is left over from painting the walls in the MP room.
1: Paint stickers yellow
2: Let dry and paint multiple times
3: Peel stickers off very carefully
4: Use scissors to make sticker look nice, trim the attached paint
5: Stick to piece of furniture
6: Buy peice of glass
I had a 48in. x 28in rectangle of 1/4 in. glass for $63.00
 What do you think? You like the desk addition? Have you ever used wall decals for non wall projects? I’d love to hear…

    Saw you at Backyard Eden. I love the little detail the decals add! I never would have considered painting them! And I really like that you only did it in one corner. It's such a sweet detail. Great job! And I'm a new follower! Come by and check me out sometime.
