My file cabinets are very organized.  But some of them do not just have files in them.  However, I thought it would be cute to make these little frames for each of the drawers in my cabinet.  I think I might make another set for the other cabinet that say “stuff” and “things” instead of the letters.  What do you think? Thanks for looking!

1. Purchased the frames from the 99 cent store.
2. Painted them black.  (They were like a bronze color??)
3. Put the glass back in and added a piece of red fabric.
4. Used my cricut to cut out the off-white “frame”.
5. Used my cricut to cut out the black letters.
6. Used a glue stick to adhere the letters and frame to the fabric.
7. Added a strip of magnet tape to the backs so they will “stick” to the file cabinet drawers.

Below is a picture of them getting their black matt finish.

Here is the link to the Chalk Ink Board that I made a couple of days ago.

I added a piece of red material behind the original Fleur De Lis.  I also moved it over to the bottom RIGHT so that I could line up my check-list.  :D

As I’ve mentioned before, my office is moving.  I made these 2 Ribbon Boards to go in my new cubical.  They will take up one wall, above my desk, and below my cubbies.  They should be an exact fit.  We shall see.  This is how I made them.

1.  I cut 2 pieces of carboard out in the size that I needed.  I chose cardboard instead of bulletin board because I need them to squeeze behind the desk a tad and behind the cubbies.  I wanted it to have a custom look to it.

2.  Then I sprayed them with Spray Glue.  Attached batting and cut the batting to the size of the cardboard.

3.  Spray the batting with spray glue and lay that on the fabric.  Cut the fabric a little bit larger than the cardboard.  Fold ends over and hot glue.

4.  I added ribbon by hot gluing the ends to the backside.  Then, I used covered buttons and sewed them on using embroidery floss and pulling through the back.  I didn’t want the cardboard to rip, so I tide my knot around a paper clip.  I looked all over for large BRADS, but could not find them.  :(  This worked great though!

I’m getting ready to decorate my new cubicle.  My office is moving and we all got new cubicles. These are “single” cubicles.  Can’t believe I’m excited about that considering that any job I’ve had since graduating college I’ve had my own office.  Oh well.  Not happy about the long commute, but trying to make the best of it.  I will post before and after shots of my cubicle.  For now, I’m going to show you my “dry erase board”.  I’m going with an off-white and black theme.  Throwing in some Fleur De Lis here and there.  I can’t decide what color to use as an accent color.  Leaning towards a red or apple green.

Remember that old picture that I picked up for $1.00 at the yard sale a couple of weeks ago?  Well, I….

• Painted the frame black
• Covered the cardboard insert with black duck fabric
• Covered that with a layer of black burlap
• Added a fleur de lis that I cut out of my main fabric
• Purchased CHALK INK (love this find)
• Going to glue cubical clip/pins to the back to hang in my cube!

I know you’re going to ask, so I’ll tell you that I found my set of chalk ink markers at Michael’s for around $11.  I used a 40% off coupon and got them for around $5 for a set of 4.  I purchased the “Earthy Set”. Hope this helps.  :D
