Decorating my flat is an ongoing project I think I’ll never be fully satisfied with. Along with changing trends and new ideas I have my office to deal with. This room is my nemesis. As soon as I think I get it right it becomes cluttered and messy again. It doesn’t help that I hoard any materials that might come in useful one day (just in case) and I have absolutely no system of keeping them. That’s why I’m dedicating myself to more office/craft room organisation tutorials starting with this cute little desk tidy. Small steps right?
Materials:
Concrete. I’ve used Snowslete
Plastic mould. I’ve used an Ikea cutlery tray
A drill and 8mm masonry drill bit
1. Mix up your concrete to a thick paste and pour into the mould. You can oil this with regular cooking oil or vaseline if you’re worried about it sticking.
2. Leave to set for 24 hours.
3. Make sure you have a drill bit that looks like the one above.
4. Mark out in pencil where you want your holes to be. Keep them as evenly spaced as possible.
5. Slowly drill down into the holes keeping the drill facing as straight as you can.
6. I drilled half of my holes around 2cm down and just indented the other half as a platform for other stationary items.
As well as a stylish pencil holder this doubles up as a paperweight as well. Love a bit of stationary multitasking!
I’m so happy I found your blog! Your projects are so well-designed and beautifully photographed, I can’t help but want to try them all! xo
Cute idea for displaying the stationery :) Your colorful pencils are adorable!
With just the right pens this could be the cutest ever! So simple.
Little things that you buy can easily be made at home by reading such sort of blog that gives you an idea how to make them. After submitting my dissertation done by the best dissertation writing service and then I tried this by the same procedure mentioned and it was excellently made.
I like to do such activities as crafting and experimenting with new things but I do these activities after completing the report writing assignment because once you involved in such an activity you don’t care about time.
I appreciate the information and advice you have shared. I will try to figure it out for more.
