I like the first one as well. For the faux leather, if folded, you need to glue it onto itself on each layer. If that makes sense. You could also do it the same way with a hemming tape and iron it, with a cloth over top. Another way would be to fold it as you did and sew 1/8" from the sides.

Stain is to be stirred not shaken. I love this project

@DanceswithDustBunnies

4 ай бұрын

Yes. And, when you first buy it, all the elements might be well-mixed, but if it sits, a sludge forms at the bottom, so even if you shake it, very little of that will mix in. It needs to be stirred well with a stir-stick. It might take a while to scoop up the sludge and re-integrate it, but eventually, it will return to normal.

Norrine, you should always stir your stain. The pigment settles to the bottom and will not always mix when shaking.

You have inspired me to dig through our wood scraps and make some. Thank you!

I get so many ideas from you! The disappointing thing is our Dollar stores are crappy. Seriously. The floors are littered with stuff that fell off of the displays, etc. And, I can never find the cool things that you do. But, I do have a bunch of Milwaukee tools (I can drywall and put in Pex plumbing, too), and it is your ideas that are valuable. I just translate them into things I already have, or other items. You've also got me going to Thrift stores, which I only did occasionally. I've been twice in the last couple weeks, and each time found something unique, and when I looked it up on Etsy or something, it is worth at least ten times what I paid. Which was $1.99. I'm not selling them, but it is very satisfying!

You could also make one from those wire grids that clip together making a wire cubbie. I hope that makes sense. I see stacks taped together in thrift stores all the time really cheap.

I'm not to sure it was your stain, more likely the wood. Each wood type absorbs differently. You can always do a couple of coats to darken it more. That's also why testing is always a good idea.

I have a feeling the wood was treated. Cull lumber is always a surprise. LOL

I like the first one especially. I'm wondering if you lightly scored the back of the leather for the handles if that could help it hold the shape better. I'd put a little glue in that area and set something on it to flatten it while it dries. Something like that would be nice for storing boxes of baggies, saranwrap, and parchment rolls in the kitchen, too. Maybe a taller one for gift wraps. Thanks!
