Even in intense working periods, I try to do a little something else, just for variation. Often I find that taking a braek from one project, while working on another, gives the subconsciouness a chance to work freely, and upon returning to the main project, I all of sudden have new ideas.\u00c2&nbsp;<\/p>\n

So my evening-project this week was giving an old pouf I found in the attic a make-over. It needed two coats of paint, and it\u00b4s the drying that takes time. I think it only took me a good hour to work with it. Drying takes a couple of days.<\/p>\n

I forgot to take a before-picture, but you get the general idea, even though the painting has begun.<\/p>\n

\"paint1\"<\/p>\n

I wanted this to be a little funky and a little stylish, so I used a black, lacquer alligator replica fabric. Cut and adjusted it to the pouf.<\/p>\n

\"adjust-and-cut\"<\/p>\n

Started to staple the fabric onto the pouf. The staples are not visible when the pouf is standing the right way, but I think I\u00b4ll go over them with a black permanent marker anyway when I\u00b4m done.<\/p>\n

\"staple-fabric\"<\/p>\n

Not enough fabric to go all the way around\u2026 We solved it by gluing down the egdes, placing the next piece of fabric very close to the other one. Idealy, I should have painted black underneath, but since the fabric was so thick, it wasn\u00b4t necessary.\u00c2&nbsp;<\/p>\n

Fastening the hinges for the lid.<\/p>\n

And Voil\u00c3\u00a1! A pouf with a new life!<\/p>\n

The whole project took less than two hours, and cost about 200,- kroner (maybe $30) for the fabric.\u00c2&nbsp;<\/p>\n
