Pintresting Project

Saw this and was super excited to do a little changing.


Thought I could get the cardboard from Costco, but the size didn't work. Then I remembered that I had some cardboard at work that would be perfect. (Remember that tri-fold things we used in 8th grade for our family projects or the ones for our science project...yep, I had a bunch of them.)  I used that cardboard from school, bought the lovely fabric 2 1/2 yards that was 25% off and then 15% off the entire purchase making the fabric $8ish, saving $4, and then used double stick tape to make it all work.


Here is the beginning


Measured the cardboard and then cut it.



I ironed the fabric then laid the cardboard out on the fabric to make sure I had enough.


I cut the fabric and taped the edges to the cardboard.  I actually thought I would use the white side of the fabric to face out, but the fabric looked better against the brown.  I put the cardboard into the bookcase.



Final product.  I like it, but I don't know if I'm in love with it.  Will have to get used to it...or just take it out.
