DIY: OLD INTO NEW

   

CURRENTLY SMITTEN WITH DIY 

Came across this very cute idea today via the Real Living website. How could you go wrong !!! .So if you have a piece of furniture that you are tired of looking at or thinking about throwing why not give do this DIY idea ago.

You will need:

• Pressed-tin panel
• Pencil &  tape measure
• Tin snips (we used Trojan 300mm Tinsnips, $20.78, Bunnings)
• Medium sandpaper (80-grit)
• Paintbrush
• Undercoat & paint
• Selleys “Liquid Nails”, $8.95 for 250g, Bunnings

Step 1 Measure the size of the drawer fronts.
Step 2 With a pencil and tape measure mark the size of the drawer fronts on the tin panel.
Step 3 Use tin snips to cut carefully along the marked lines of the panels. Sand sharp edges until they are smooth. 
Step 4 Paint drawer fronts with undercoat. Allow to dry, then paint a second coat.
 Step 5 Paint the front of the panels in your chosen colour or colours. Leave to dry, then paint a second coat. Let dry.
 Step 6 Apply liquid nails adhesive to the back of one panel, then press it onto the drawer front. Remove the panel and leave it for a few minutes to become “tacky”. Reattach panel to the drawer front, applying firm, even pressure, especially around the edges (you may need a friend to help you). Repeat for remaining drawer fronts.
 Step 7 Wipe off any excess adhesive around the edges and allow 2 hours for the adhesive to dry. Voila! A bespoke chest of drawers.

 

 

NICE PACKAGING AND CONCEPT BODY AND EDEN

           

There's nothing more than I like is minimalistic design and a cleaver products design.
This product is both, founded in February 2012 Body & Eden's Beautifully Bottled 
Elixirs and Tonics.They combine whole fruits and veggies, nourishing, high-nutrient green super foods such as spirulina, chlorella, and barley, and stabilizing herbal infusions to give their tonics the highest possible nutritional content. They work closely with a hands-on herbalist to create safe, balanced herbal combinations that support your body so it can function more optimally.

Packaging

The drinks are packaged in glass bottles that can be returned on-site for 10% off your next order. Body & Eden uses Pristine Hydro reverse osmosis, a 7-stage filter, to ensure the best possible base for our products.

About

Body and Eden was formed by two college best friends who aim to use seasonal and sustainable products whenever available.

I recently created this design for a competition I entered via the General Pants website to  design a One Teaspoon Trucker Hat .And here it is. Wanted the graphic design of the hat to be edgy and girly at the same time.
