You will have seen that we’ve been turning our summerhouse into a Clubhouse for The Girls so they have a space to call their own as they grow. DH gave our new summerhouse a Shabby Chic makeover during the summer and I’ve been accessorising since.
We added a fabulous Fairtrade rug for card games, as well as a little bookcase I bought via eBay. I added a few twinkly battery-operated lights too, so we could enjoy autumn evenings out there reading.
One of the big changes DH made was to build a fold-down workbench so that the girls could sit and draw and colour and create. But they have had nowhere to display the art work they created.
I measured the gaps between the wall struts and ordered three inexpensive 60cm x 40cm pinboards to fit in the spaces. But I wanted to give them a bit of a lift, something that would fit with the feel of the Clubhouse. So I was delighted when Lidl was selling rolls and rolls of fun patterned Duck Tape a few weeks ago. I bought three rolls, knowing that it would be perfect.
And it was: I covered the frames of two of the boards, and had all three hung in under half an hour. A cheap and cute solution to art display problem!
**the tape did peel away from the wood frame a bit. With one board I found that a simple firm press was all that was needed to adhere the tape. With the other, I secured the edges with the glue gun.
Wow what a cool idea, I keep seeing people making hoola hoops with duck tape and wondered what other uses for such pretty tape. Thanks for sharing this idea and i’m definitely going to find somewhere to put a pin board up in our new home
