My Fiddle Farted Kettle

This is a bit of a daft idea, that I didn't want to post until I was absolutely certain it worked ..........
I bought a small 1 litre kettle for my bedroom back in July as I like to have at least one coffee before I get out of bed in the morning, at just £8.79 it was a no brainer, but when it arrived I wasn't keen on the logo that was on it 
Then I remembered some very robust plastic stickers I have had forever from Hobbycraft but never used, with a bit of manoeuvring I was able to successfully cover up the logo plus add a little extra frou frou so the design flowed.  I love the positioning of the little bird particularly. 
However, how long would they actually last with a repeated change of temperature and wiping over, well it's now mid December and they are still going strong, not a single sign of them beginning to peel, in fact I think if I tried to remove them now, they would probably take the offending original logo with them.  Dead chuffed!

A great cover up. Reminds me when in my teens and still at home I had the bright idea of reusing the old kettle that Mum was going to throw out. (The aluminium ones that you used on the gas ring with a spout not a whistle. ) anyway I decided to make it into a plant pot holder by smashing dome old tiles up and then painstakingly gluing them onto the said kettle to completly cover and then grouting. Took me forever and when I tried to pick it up it weighed a ton. Still it looked nice and Mum did use it for a time. Happy and crafty New Year to you. Hugs Mrs A.
