My daughter has had this toy bench for several years now. Somehow it got moved out into the small space between her room and the bathroom. The paint had been cracking and there were about a dozen small stickers all over it. A fresh coat of paint and it looked brand new! I found a beautiful vintage sheet at goodwill for $2 and after adding some foam padding and trimming a section of the sheet I stapled it to the underside of the lid. I have to admit the inside isn't too pretty but the outside turned out great! Now my daughter has a place to set her book bag and put her shoes when she gets home from school! I also added a small section of trim and twine right above for her to hang her drawings.
I found this chair abandoned and in need of some serious TLC. I was intent on spending as little as possible and seeing as I already had the majority of supplies on hand I felt pretty confident. I ended up only spending 99 cents on this redo! The material I used for the seat is from a pillowcase so I didn't even have to spend money on material!
My
six year old loves abstract. Honestly, she can draw and color really well, but
she’s fascinated with abstract and
evidently discuses it with her art teacher at length. So when I saw this
project on Pinterest I knew it’d be
something she’d enjoy. I tried to find
the author of the original idea so I could give them due credit but had no
luck. All you need is some paint, a canvas, painter tape, and some type of
paint brushes (unless finger painting). Place tape on the canvas and let them
paint away. Once the paint has dried take the tape off.
