What to do:
This vintage headboard was made from 35cm square wall art pieces purchased from Cut It Out. You can either purchase it from Cut It Out or purchase any wooden square art pieces you desire.
Step 1: To make the headboard, lay out 15 of the squares in a 3×5 pattern, and use 63cm x 38cm strips of wood to attach them all together.
Step 2: Paint the headboard with one coat of primer and three coats of white enamel cabinet paint.
Step 3: Cut squares of white foam core to fit snugly inside of the openings in the back of the frames.
Step 4: The foam squares hold the sheet in place against the front of each frame opening without having to cut the sheet. Lay the sheet across the back of the headboard, pressed the foam squares into place, and neatly folded the excess sheet around the edges, securing the folds with a few staples into the wood strips.
Step 5: Hanging the headboard with a couple of eye hooks and heavy picture wire (like a large art piece) allows for an easy quick-change if you ever decide to use something else inside of the frames.

What to do:
Step 1: You can liven up your walls by keeping your
original colour and just adding stripes to the wall. Choose two paint
colours that compliments the current wall.
Step 2: On the main wall start by giving the wall a quick coat of primer.
Step 3: Draw your lines on the wall. Paint thin white lines on the pencil markings you made.
Step 4: Once the paint is dry, tape onto the white stripes using tape.
Step
5: Apply paint sealer around the edges of the tape, and wait 15
minutes for it to dry completely. It goes on milky white, but dries
crystal clear, so it’s easy to see when you’re ready to paint.
Step 6: While the paint sealer dries, mix up your paint colours you are going to use.
Step 7: Start applying your colour in the different sections.
Step 8: Once the paint is dry, slowly peel of the tape.

What to do:
Step 1: Wash and tumble dry a natural-colored canvas tablecloth a few times to soften the fabric.
Step 2: Lay the cloth flat. Run 5 strips of grout tape down the middle of the fabric widthwise, 0.6cm apart.
Step 3: Paint red fabric paint onto a paper plate and dab a brush in it, off-loading any extra paint onto a paper towel. Working in short strokes, lightly brush the paint on the cloth between the taped areas to catch the grain of the canvas.
Step 4: Continue to layer the pigment until it appears as dark as desired. Remove the tape once the paint has dried according to the package instructions.
What you need:
- white tablecloth
- red fabric paint or any colour you would prefer

What to do:
1. Start by folding up the bottom of one end about 15cm (you can adjust this measurement depending on how deep or shallow you want your pockets) and pinning it in place on both sides.
2. Measure out the size of each individual pocket and mark them with pins. The easiest way to do this is to lay out all the things that you know you always bring with you and measure the pockets accordingly.
3. Once you've marked all the pocket lines, remove the items from the pockets and sew along both sides of the towel and all the pin marks.

What to do:
Step 1: Tape the plate at various angles to create triangles or block sections. Not all sections need to overlap. Smooth tape edges to ensure a clean line once you start painting.
Step 2: Using a sponge brush, fill in one section. If it over laps with another section, be sure to allow it to completely dry before brushing on the second hue. Brush colour onto the plate by sweeping brush away from the tape’s edge, not towards. Continue painting each section a different colour, and set aside to dry.
Step 3: Slowly remove the tape, and enjoy
