    They make awesome mini-greenhouse covers in the garden, especially in early spring and autumn. Place a 5 lb rock on the top to keep the wind out. During the day, you can prop up one end by setting the container's edge on another rock so it doesn't overheat. They stack for easy storage off-season.

    That second bucket make-over is so much better than the first. (The first one needs for the lid to be covered with fabric too)
    Thanks for the idea.

      And a bit of variation on the order of things. If the fabric were put on before the rope was finished, the rope could cover the fabric to create a much nicer finish. Most of these tubs at Walmart have gone up considerably, might even be possible to get something that looks nice from the get-go at Target.

    Great, practical ideas. Do-able ideas! I jute wrapped a hanging lamp and it's twin in a satiny white cord years ago. Mom was going to throw them away so I nabbed one and used jute. She asked I do the other one in white. Used both for YEARS after I "fixed" them.

    Why not finish that pillow storage bin, by also putting the fabric on the lid? Instead of that old white plastic lid. Maybe add a strip of black Velvet trim for the side edges.😁

  • @darlenebradley6756
    @darlenebradley6756 10 месяцев назад +7

    The mirror project is really beautiful, but FYI HEADS-UP! Be sure the glue you choose to adhere the mirror to the plywood won't eventually damage the the silvering on the mirror and create visible black marks on the reflective surface. There are mastics especially for mirrors. Ask at the paint desk of your store about this and they can guide you to an appropriate product that will be safe for the silvering AND powerful enough to hold the mirror. Otherwise, a very easy and kool look for a very little money.

      If you are concerned about about lime build-up, you could run some coffee pot cleaner or vinegar through it once in a while, filter the water with a Brita pitcher, or use distilled water....maybe a litle impractical for a fountain with a large reservoir but this can be addressed by the size of pot used.

    Clever idea, I am here to tell you that the plastic will buckle and break if you do not figure out a way to add more stabilzation to it. In order to avoid cracking the plastic, you can use a hot glue gun or heat a metal knitting needle ( or nail) over the hot plate on your stove to melt your holes in it as well.

      I have a white Walmart lampshade waiting to go on a small brass lamp (if I ever get it rewired). I've been thinking of adding color to it and have been wondering the same thing. I'm leaning towards acrylic. I think I would want a fairly thin consistency in the paint would work best as long as it still had enuf pigment. Solid color or a pattern or design in multiple colors. I know there are fabric paints available. Walmart carries them in the craft dept. They didn't come in tbe colors I needed. I have a woven cotton throw rug, striped in bright colors that I threw hair dye all over and when I washed it it crocked some color and started fading already. So I bought acrylic paint in the exact colors (and one shade I have to mix) to cover the dye and restore the colors. Hope it works. Had the rug 13 yrs and finally had a place to use it. In place 3 weeks when I splatted hair dye on it. Grabbed it to get it into the shower to rinse it right away and got dye all over my new white shower curtain. I have the paint to cover the dye spots on the back of the white bathroom door, too. Been in the newly built house since June and I'm trying to make it look lived in. 😞. So mad at myself. Just redid my hair. Didn't spill a drop this time. I'm always careful but ...

What can be done with the lid? I honestly don't know... Spray paint it? Glue a rectangle of fabric only in the center rectangular indention on the top of the lid? Either way - she's got way more time on her hands than I do ... ..
