DIY - Wardrobe made out of moving boxes

Hi there!

I used to have this beautiful Ikea pax wardrobe with 4 doors, but I moved to a smaller studio and couldn't bring it with me because it was too high for the new ceiling! I needed an extra wardrobe (the wardrobe that came with the studio was far from being able to fit both my boyfriend and my clothes in it), so I decided to make a temporary wardrobe out of boxes that I still had from moving to the new place while looking for a new one. Well, after 3 months, the diy wardrobe is still alive and I decided to keep it, since it's super practical and only needed for another year till we move out to a different place with higher ceilings!

What do you need?
* moving boxes
* tape
* stanley knife or scissors
* big piece of lace or other fabric to cover the whole wardrobe (optional)



some extra tips to make the wardrobe last longer:

* make sure the boxes are leaning against a wall or other wardrobe, this makes the whole thing more stable. (Mine is  leaning against the wall and another wardrobe at the right side)
* fold boxes to make an extra layer in between the rows (as seen in picture 1). This is where you might need a stanley knife or some scissors to make them fit.
* Don't cut off the top part of the boxes (the part where you usually would open the box), fold this into the box.
* the piece of lace will prevent sunlight or dust damaging your clothes.

The result:

D.I.Y. Organising your Necklaces



Hello! 

Here's a new little diy project that I did when I just moved into our new place. I was tired of not being able to find back my necklaces and decided to give them a place where I could see them all. It took just a couple of minutes to do, but the result is awesome! When you try this yourself, just be aware that you're going to make little holes in your bookcase, so it's best to do this with a cheaper bookcase! 

Enjoy!

DIY - Sugar Painted Paper (Gift Wrapping Paper)


Hi! 

This is my first real D.I.Y. post! I couldn't come up with a good description, so I called it sugarpainted paper. It might sound a little strange, but painting with sugar is very possible and much fun!  I learned about this project when I was a kid. I saw it in a craft book for kids that I had and made many variations! I think the project is pretty easy, but it needs time to dry twice. It's perfect paper for gift wrapping, especially since you can change the design so easily. For example, I used this pink one with hearts to cover a giftbox for my mum. 

I hope you enjoy making this paper! 

Kisses,
