Hi everyone. I was visiting my sons a few months back, and they being bachelors needed some work in their apartment. There was very little in the way of artwork on the walls. And of course we wanted to correct this frugally. We had gone shopping and bought some furniture and had left over boxes.
Γεια σε όλους. Είχα επισκεφτεί τους γιους μου μερικούς μήνες πίσω. Είναι εργένηδες και χρειάζονταν κάποιες εργασίες στο διαμέρισμά τους. Υπήρχε πολύ λίγο από έργα τέχνης στους τοίχους. Και φυσικά θα θέλαμε να διορθώσουμε αυτό οικονομικά. Αγόρασα κάποια έπιπλα και μας έμεινε αυτό το κουτι.
I figured if I covered the box with some fabric and stapled the fabric to the back I could then add some ribbon and make some type of abstract design.
Σκέφτηκα αν καλύψω το κουτί με ύφασμα και συρράψω το ύφασμα στο πίσω μέρος θα μπορέσω στη συνέχεια να προσθέσω κορδέλα και να κάνω κάποιου τύπου αφηρημένο σχέδιο.
This was the result but I was not happy with it. The ribbon kept on sliding off and it was too dull.
Αυτό ήταν το αποτέλεσμα, αλλά δεν ήμουν ικανοποιημένη. Η κορδέλα γλίστραγε και ήταν πολύ βαρετή.
I removed the slouchy ribbon and went on a ribbon hunt around the house until I found some ribbon pieces that had more pizzazz. Here is what it looks like now.
Έβγαλα την κορδέλα και έψαξα γύρω στο το σπίτι μέχρι να βρεθούν κομμάτια κορδέλας που είχαν το κάτι περισσότερο. Εδώ είναι πώς φαίνεται τώρα.
I think it looks much better now, the thick, dark ribbon makes it stand out more. And there is more balance to the composition. Plus, it is in the boys’ favorite colors (we cannot neglect the occupants of the apartment !).
Νομίζω ότι φαίνεται πολύ καλύτερα τώρα, Η πυκνή, σκουρόχρωμη κορδέλα το κάνει να ξεχωρίζει περισσότερο. Και υπάρχει μεγαλύτερη ισορροπία στη σύνθεση. Πλέον, είναι τα αγαπημένα χρώματα των αγοριών (που δεν μπορούμε να παραμελήσουμε τους κατοίκους του διαμερίσματος!).
To sum it up, this project cost me nothing. The fabric, ribbons and box were available at home. And all I used to assemble it was a stapler. I hope this can be inspirational for you. Let me know what you think.
Για να συνοψίσω, το έργο αυτό δεν μου κόστισε τίποτα. Το ύφασμα, κορδέλες και κουτί υπήρχαν στο σπίτι. Χρησιμοποίησα μόνο ένα συρραπτικό. Ελπίζω ότι αυτό μπορεί να είναι πηγή έμπνευσης για εσάς. Ενημερώστε με τι σκέφτεστε.

Keri, you know I love free, or it's cousin, shopping at home. It's always fun to look around and find things that can be re used.
