This Ikea Tolsby Project turns old frames into something unique and useful in just a few moments.
I love Ikea. I could spend a few hours there every week, day dreaming up projects and ways to transform my home! I also love the little bargains; the scrub brushes and napkins. The glass bottles, and place mats and all of the deals to be had at under $1. Hello? Awesome Toilet Brushes, handy waste paper baskets and picture frames! Last year before they discontinued the Tolsby frame, I bought a bunch for about 70 cents.
I found a cute way to repurpose them and share info the gool ole fashioned way; with a note. This Tolsby hack only needs some basic supplies like the frame, washi tape, some string and a dry erase board to create something useful and cute.
Supplies:
Tolsby Frame
Washi Tape
Embroidery Thread
Dry Erase Pen
Directions:
Begin by covering the frame with washi tape.
Cover the base, and both sides, using small strips of the washi tape of your choice.
When your frame is covered, tie a 16" section of embroidery thread on to the base and screw it together.
Tie a dry erase pen to the thread.
