CELLPHONE CHARGING STATION TWEAK.

The tweak I am sharing is an year old. I had this cell phone charging station for sometime; useful but pretty bland. So it moved to the garage.

Last year, I decided to tweak it and put it to use again. It had lots of scratches and the black sheet on the top was peeling off.

At Micheal's, I picked this ikat print scrap book paper. I had nothing in this color of green shade at home and I had no plans to match the cell phone charging station to anything in the space. While I was there, I also picked an almost exact matching color of craft paint.

 

Next day I gave the charging station a good sanding. Wiped off the dust and gave two coats of paint.

I peeled off the black velvet that covered the top of the station before I started working on it.

I left the top unpainted since I was planning to use the scrap book paper to cover.
I measured the black sheet to the paper. You can see I was little short of the paper.

I will have to cut and paste the shortage.

Using Mod-Podge, I pasted the paper to the top of the charging station. And covered the top of the paper with a coat of Mod-Podge.

A $1 paint and a .50cent paper was the small tweak with a big difference. I had the modge podge but a $4 bottle is good for few projects.

A before:

And an after:

I enjoy tweaking to my liking without spending much.

How about you?

Have a great week ahead.
