Furniture repairs and other papier mache projects



You can buy these storage boxes from ikea that look like crates. They're easily broken which is not ideal when you've children around!

We've got fed up of having to repair mine so this time We've tried using papier mache pulp to hold it together. It took several days to dry and looks like the bench is held together with spit wads.

we've only just put it together and its a little creaky to sit on. Only time will tell if the papier mache filling works. 




This is our other current papier mache project. Its a marble box. Or rather the base of one. It will probably take weeks to dry. Its possibly 5/6th attempt as we kept getting impatient and trying to have a better look. If this one falls apart its going to be a long time before we can bring ourselves to start again!
