I just bought an Expedit bookcase from Ikea, it was a plain white shelves with no back cover. Looked empty, isn' it? It would be a blast if we add some color to it. You just need:
And so the project began without further delay.
1) Measure the area of one shelf. Cut box according to the measurement. Cut fabric a little bigger than the box. |
2) Stick the fabric onto the box using cellotape. |
3) It will look like this (Ignore the wrinkles, you should iron them first!) |
4) Use stapler gun to stick the box onto the back of the shelf. Alternatively, you can use double-sided tape if the gun is not in your toolbox. |
5) Tadaa!! You are done! |
Now my Expedit bookcase has a brand new look:
Sorry for the picture quality. I didn't have the chance to decorate more for this purpose, Balqis the troublemaker always want to keep them disordered *sigh*. Notice that the lower shelves were her space.
p/s: The flattened box used here was originally from the Expedit packaging itself. Recycle is the way of life!
Happy trying!!
