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!
They look great! You made that coffee maker look SO much better!
ReplyDeleteA 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.
