CRAFT ROOM OVERHAUL PART 2

I don’t know if you know this about me, but I’m about to spill the beans. I absolutely love organization and having a place for all of my crafting and quilting supplies in one place so that I have access to them when I need them.

However, this craft room overhaul has been a real pain in the butt. It has taken me far longer than I ever would have thought. I know, first world problems. I totally get that, but the struggle is real. Working full-time and coming home to work in my quilting room has been a challenge for me and it’s taken me about 2 weeks to get this far and I’m still not done.

I’m not complaining though. Just stating facts. So…if you decide to overhaul your space like I am, set some realistic expectations, because clearly, I thought I could have this all done in a weekend. Hahahahaha! I know, I’m laughing with you!

Moving along, here we have an old tv cart where I once stored notepads of paper, rubber bands and other miscellaneous items in my craft room. It was the perfect solution for what I had been wanting for a very long time. I just wasn’t sure how to achieve it until now.

And what I wanted was a mobile ironing and cutting station that I could have right next to my sewing machine. It sometimes takes longer to complete a quilt block when you have several seams to press and your ironing table or board is not near by. So, this was my solution to that problem.

We purchased 4 – 1″ Roller Ball Bearings at $1.99 each from Harbor Tool and Freight.

Then my husband cut 4 wood blocks 2 1/4″ X 3″ so that we could accurately screw into the bottom of the tv cart without going all the way through the cart. The video will explain it better, I promise. Also, don’t be like me and split the wood. HA! I must admit, I was having way too much fun with the power tools.

So once the roller balls were on, then it was time for me to give the tv cart a little make over. So for this, I used Cricut Adhesive Foil. You will want to prep the wood before you do this, otherwise, it won’t stick to the surface and it will continually come up. That is a very important tip!

Anyway, back to the adhesive foil. I used Stainless Steel, Stainless Teal and Coral Pink in Matte, for the top of the cart.

That’s all there is too it! This was a really fun and easy project to do. Check out the video below.
