Changing the CD Rack

CD Racking DIY

I don't have a picture of the CD rack before I did mine. I will have a look online for one similar to mine. Okay so I can't find one. Well it is a wooden three wide CD rack. 

Step one : Sand the wood back to the wood.

Step two : Choose your paint for wood... I used Cuprinol colours and they are samples. The main purple is Purple Pansy and then I used a blue which is called Beach Blue. 

Step three : to clean up the edges as in the plastic I used white spirt to get the paint off. 

Step four : choose a stencil if you want to add something more personal.

Step Five : add varnish to make it last.

June 2013 - New Things and An Update

Hey everyone - Sorry it's been a while on here

I have been really busy with work. Really not having much time to do much crafting.

Anyway let's get on with this post...

I saw a while back the Sizzix Big Shot Machine on offer for the starter kit as well. But I didn't know how good this offer was until after I brought this machine. I got the Starter Kit £79. When I got it home and took the machine out of the box and had a look at it and put the handle on which was really simple. 

I went onto their website as soon as I got home www.sizzix.co.uk and on there website the starter kit is priced at £109.99 and the Machine itself is priced at £89.99 so I got mine at a really good price. My big shot is the new design.

Here is a few pictures:

I brought two storage boxes from Tesco small one was £2 and the big one was £3... I love them they are prefect to put things for crafting in, like my cuts and pockets for dies and embossing. they can hold things for you too.

I used some of the dies for my scrapbook page which has made it look a lot better too. Just have a look.

The butterfly is the die cuts I had with the starter kit which is beautiful.

I have only used this machine today as I had some time to myself and just done a cd rack myself too which I sanded down and then used wood paint to paint. I would love to add a flower stencil to make it more unique and mine. I know it's not done perfectly but it's not finished yet. So here is a photo at the moment.

I love the colours of this cd rack too.
