Cardboard Box Project continued + Upcycled Matching Cards

This is a continuation of what we did a couple weekends ago.

Tonight, I had this sudden need to do something about a lot of unfinished projects. So decided to tackle the dolly house.

Printed 3 sheets of wood patterns on an A3 sheet at the office. These wood pattern is what I used to cover the entire body of the house. I cut these A3 sheets with the size of the widest side first. I 'mod-podged' it all over with a brush and affixed the patterned sheets all over. In order not to get too much warping, I did the 2 widest sides first and while waiting for these to dry, did some knitting. After about 30 minutes, I tested the 2 sides and seem dry so did the same on the 2 narrow sides of the house. And did some more knitting.

I was getting into this whole 'mod-podge' thing (it's the first time I've used this), I decided to put down my knitting and do something about another unfinished project. This is something I started last weekend. This is inspired by a craft I read about on 'Designing Moms' blog. Instead of making dominoes, I thought of creating some matching cards game. So decided to cut out bits of pictures out of my kids magazines which they don't seem to read anymore.


Found some old thick chipboards at the office and decided to use these instead of wood blocks. So painted mod podge in increments the size of the pictures and also painted mod podge on the back of the pictures.

After all had been done, took up my knitting again and waited for the 2 boards to dry a bit. By this time, it was 2:30am and decided that it was time to pack up and tidy up.
