Blah. Unexciting! And not even carried out very well, seem at that stain and finish.

I gave it a gentle sanding due to the fact it was sort of slick.
Then gave it a cleansing with the TSP Different.

Oh! And as you can see, I removed all the components.

I made a decision to hold the foam inserts and just address them with this velvety fabric. (the foam will support it to be smooth so I assumed that was a get-get)

That velvety material is basically an excess pillow situation that I did not require. I purchased them for our mattress and only had a have to have for 3 pillows but this came in a set of 2. I saved it for just this reason!

Here’s the backlink if you are in will need of significant pillow conditions like this one particular. I love them!

Here’s a shot of them in our room…

I taped up the foam so it would not get painted, and then sprayed the full box with Zinsser Shellac primer. (forgot to get a photograph of that) I required to make confident it would not bleed so utilized that.
The moment that was dry, I gave it two coats of Satin White spray paint.

Even though that was drying I slice the material to in good shape. I applied my mat and cutter to slash the material.

In advance of I place it in however, I made a decision to caulk to make wonderful, cleanse seams about the edge.

Then I applied Decoupage and Transfer Gel to connect it to the foam.

And…ta da!

I sprayed it with that “triple thick glaze” spray sealer once again. It is not really that thick, in my encounter, but does give a wonderful, glossy sheen that seems pretty protecting.

Best as a jewellery box but you could definitely use it for anything.
