I found they sell MDF letters which I've been googling for (want to make a pressie for dgd) - thanks PP (even though this is likely to cost me a bit of cash) thinks..... must remember to ask ds if he still has his router ....... wonder how many letters I could get out of a sheet of MDF ..... :D

    I'm always astonished at how beautifully people decorate their homes and when it is done on a budget, it is even more impressive! Well done to everyone x

    I wonder if anyone can help.......I need two waste paper bins for our office/study area at home. As its in the room off the kitchen that leads to the livingroom I want it to look attractive but at the same time I'd like it to be cheapish.....any ideas anyone?

    Viv I just found this site - http://www.claroenterprises.co.uk/mdf_blanks.asp lots of different shapes for decoupage there. I've bookmarked it for future reference!! ;)

    I love the writing slope (at the bottom of the page), it would look good with my old dip pens and blotter :D

    Im so pleased I stumbled upon this thread! What a great idea!
    Ive been "doing" shabby chic for a while now and love it so much Ive just opened a small ebay shop selling such things. Some I hand make myself some are vintage treasures that I cant fit in my home but cant leave behind either!!

    These are a couple of my own makes:
    A desk dresser tidy made with original 1940s postcards and victorian photos

    A vintage china tea cup made into a pin cushion!
