Read all about it!
Ok so I know I said if ever did a magazine rack again I would paint the spindles but I love the papered effect too much so I decided to ignore my own advice!
This one is slightly smaller than the other and rather than use NME cuttings I used current newspapers. As newspaper is thinner it was slightly easier and created an almost papermache effect in places. I also purposely didn't paint the rack first as I wanted the dark wood colour to create a dark base for the paper so it didn't look too 'new'.
Although it is all newspaper it is still quite colourful and I think it would look great in a student flat or in a trendy living room!
Price £55

NOW That's What I Call Mag. Rack 2011!
Remember those old magazines racks everyone seemed to have back in the Nineties? Well I've rescued one and given it some street cred for 2011!
I've coverered it with gig and tour ads from my husbands recent NME magazines (I did ask first!) but have left the knobs in their original state as I like the contrast between the old and new.
H 41cm, W 50cm, D 19.5cm
This piece took an age to make, I probably should have painted the spindles but for some mad reason decided to cover them instead! I do however think the final effect is worth all the effort but I might just paint the spindles next time!
Price £65 SOLD
