Default Project IKEA - Platform/Level

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
