So for the last few days I have been working on a little DIY project which has become known as Project IKEA
I thought I would briefly share with you what I created and how I did it.
I bought this from IKEA - Knuff
I pulled one side off. It came off quite easily once I had loosened the top and bottom joints
And plastikoted the whole thing
Then, using some wooden doweling pieces from B&Q and some PVA glue, I started making little fences. They were quite fiddly and involved a lot of holding of pieces together while the glue started to dry and hold them, before I could put them down
Joined the fences together - again using PVA glue
And started gluing them onto the side (now top) of the IKEA Knuff magazine holder.Also it is worth pointing out that I stuck wooden pieces over the circles in the side of the Knuff because I didnt want any hamsters attempting to get through and possibly getting stuck.
Then i made a ladder, using more wooden doweling and PVA glue. I waited until the glue was half dry and then bent the ladder in the curve shape I wanted before leaving it to dry properly
And finally glued on some wooden mushrooms I got from Petsupermarket
