Woo hoo hoo, all twenty-four of my Halloween truck drawers are now completed …….
…… and despite my initial misgivings, I am well chuffed.
I coloured the sides and edges of each drawer in black and let them dry properly to prevent any murky fingerprints, before adding the plain background papers as mentioned last week, this time everything came together much better than my first few drawers.
It also came as quite a relief that each drawer front took a fraction of the time that my previous Advent calendar drawers have taken me in the past, it was pretty much wham bam, thank you Mam once I got going.
Seeing how all now looks has helped me decide, more or less, how to decorate the rest of the truck. My original idea was to be quite grown up and gothic, but now it’s going to be much cuter, more colourful and child orientated ………..
…….. using the Halloween patterned papers that didn’t suit the drawers on the roof, back and perhaps the panels on the sides …….. well, that’s the theory anyway, so, again, watch this space!
What a great transformation! Each drawer is so much fun to look at to find all the little details. I think Iris and Bertie will be amazed!!
