DIY Project 3 & 4

I finished the headboard and added a couple other projects today...yeah yeah. I was suppose to relax but I was stir crazy.

Tools:
Stapler
Glue Spray
Foam
Batting
Fabric
Old door

I first took all the hardware off the door and cleaned it. Then I used the Glue spray to attach the foam to the door before I stapled it. I had to do this because I couldn't find a wide enough piece of foam. I didn't want the two pieces to slide apart.

Next I covered the foam with batting to make it soft like a pillow.

Finally came the fabric. The leftover fabric I used to recover the vanity stool. Now everything matches. I love how the fabric goes perfect with the bedding and wall color. I kinda threw everything together so you can see.

Price rundown. Door-free. It was one of the doors previously in the house before we replaced them all. Foam, batting, and fabric-$110. Glue Spray-$3. I borrowed the staple gun with Wes' Dad, so no cost there.
Total-$113.
Not bad at all!!! All that matters is I like the way it turned out. :-)

Project 4
Do something with our old green faded mailbox. Since I didn't want to buy a brand new mailbox that would require removing the old one and installing the new one I turned to spray paint. The other option was more expensive and too time consuming.

I should have taken a before picture. But it was green and the flag was no longer red but white. Needless to say it looked worn and abused.

Supplies totaled $4. Maroon and Tan spray paint. I used some leftover painters tape to cover up the flag and numbers when I sprayed the tan.
