1. Buy a HULTET bamboo dish 45cm.
2. Cover it with golden acrylic paint, front and back.
3. Look for a picture or a drawing of a hibiscus flower you like put it in the size you like and print it out, then cut it out trace it on the dish.
4. Look for tendrils samples you like, or draw the lines freehand on the dish.
5. Fill in the black background with acrylic paint.
6. For the tendrils, you need 3D glue for foils (it dries up transparently, but it remains sticky).
7. Cover the tendrils completely let it dry!!
8. Apply the décor foil irregular (I’ve used a little red and bronze at the edge and covered the rest with gold). Important: the metallic or coloured side has to be above! Press on well and peel it off, repeat this step as often as necessary.
   

Materials: Pax

Description:
I wanted to share my hack because I thought it might give a few people with broken panels in their sliding doors hope. In efforts to save money on my wardrobe, I purchased my PAX used off of Craigslist. I saved $1,500, but had the problem of a door front that wasn’t to my taste (the black EIKESDAL) and a glass panel that was shattered (IKEA doesn’t sell replacement panels).

To fix the problem, I simply bought enough upholstery fabric to cover the panels, had a thin piece of plywood cut to the same size as the glass panels, and used duct tape to keep the fabric. After painting the “wooden” portions white and assembling the door, I ended up with a great wardrobe at a fraction of the price!

Here’s more about how I made the doors and my finished wardrobe all put together.

These are trays that I filled with various items, pasta, seashells, stones and then I “drown” them with epoxy resin.

Finally got around to “remaking” the dining room table. The top is from the old table…the cart was bought on Craigslist. The Capita braces are from IKEA.

Here is the link to the project.

Needed a “different” wall clock for my granddaughter’s first apartment, but everything at IKEA was ho-hum.

Materials: Lyster candle dish, Tallvik table lamp, Florera candle dish

Description:
It took quite a bit of work to get the look I wanted and I’d like to share it with the Ikeahacker world. I bought a vintage ceramic lamp and was determined to replace the brass hardware with brushed stainless steel or nickel to blend into my decor (I have no brass by choice).
