So you know how I'm a tad obsessed with lace...with the urge to "lace-cify" everything? *winks* Apparently, an old Hello Kitty storage unit could not escape from me and my lace...[sinister music plays in the background...]
My mother came home with this old Hello Kitty storage unit that had seen better days. Even my niece S, the Hello Kitty fanatic, wasn't terribly excited about it because it looked so dull and old.
Initially, I wanted to spray-paint it...but the thought of having to disassemble and reassemble parts promptly killed that idea [ahem...me=lazy bones...*LOL*]. I went straight to measuring and cutting the lace fabric and putting the pieces through my trusty Xyron 5" Creative Station. I actually like the pink bits peeking through the lace...[that's my story and I'm sticking to it...*winks*]
I removed the glass panels and replaced them with chipboard "grilles" and vellum.
The door knobs were decorated with vintage buttons and tassels.
I added some lace trim to the edges with a hot glue gun...[as if there was not enough lace...*winks*]
So what do you think?
P/s: I intend to use the Hello Kitty glass panels for another project. :)
WOW what a transformation Yvonne...Love it
