Refreshig

I have found this thing last year in my mother-in-law's flat. It was ugly (I hate this grey on a plastic thing) and boring. It was used in her office, you know, it is a kind of organizer for the papers and letters. I didn't want to throw it away as it was in good condition. I have decided to make it a bit more interesting.

I always have problems with organising my sewing table. There are lots of fabrics and accessories everywhere on it, so it is a big mess.... (blush, I am not so proud of it....). I wanted to make this organizer a patchwork accessory. As the wall in the room is a very light green (something between yellow and green) I chose a very bright yellow and green from my craft box. I simply dyed the grey plastic and waited for drying.
I bought decoupage paper. It was interesting as I had never used it before.I always worked with napkins. So I chose a sewing patterned piece of paper and I simply decoupaged my organizer. Here it is....
