~bookshelf re-do~

I've been looking for a little tiny bookshelf

for my little lady's birthday.

I don't need something permanent yet,

just something for her little board books

temporarily until she gets a little taller.

I want to eventually install 

some nice ones on the wall. 

I couldn't find one small enough and

realized finally that I would have to 

make do with something else.

I found a small bathroom shelf at 

the Salvation Army for $2.

I wiped it down and disinfected it

before spray painting it glossy white. 

Next I cut a piece of fabric to fit the 

dimensions of the back of the shelf.

I used spray adhesive to attach it.

Be sure to flatten it down on all sides and 

ends with a credit card or something. 

 The final step was gluing some ribbon onto

the edge of the top shelf. I ripped it off thinking

I was going to replace all of the edging but 

realized as soon as I did that it was going to 

be more work than I wanted to do.

Because of this I had to cover it 

with something else.

I used some ribbon I had on hand.

 I am pleased with the final result.

It will do for now,

especially taking into consideration 

that it only cost $2.

I had all the other supplies on hand.

Knowing my little gal,

this will be a great form of entertainment

for her. She'll rip the books out,

look at them, chew on them and

then try to stack them back on it.
