I made a... repaired fridge

These fridge parts (a door shelf cover and the vegetable drawer) have been broken ever since we bought the fridge from the previous tenants. The door shelf cover had completely snapped so we had stored it away and not used that shelf.

I checked for the plastic symbol and found 'PS' for polystyrene. The right glue is apparently poly cement, so I ordered a small tube and glued everything back together. They're never going to look new but they work just fine.

I made a... cute cactus doorstop #WIP

He has a hat! Someone mentioned that his mouth looked like a little Mexican moustache, so we got him a tiny sombrero to complete the look. His base still needs some work. He has a face! The black parts were cut from a dyed black leather strap, and the edges tidied up afterwards with a black permanent marker. I drew on the white markings with a paint pen. I can't decide whether the mouth looks like a mouth, or like a moustache, but either way it's adorable.  In a cardboard box, stuffed with paper to keep it upright. I first sewed the fabric cover inside out, then turned it the right way out, stuffed the cactus 'arm' with cotton wool, and pulled the whole thing down over the bottle.  A suspicious-looking, work-in-progress shot. It's a filled water bottle (for weight) wrapped in thin towels to fill out the gaps and give it a more uniform shape.

I (we) made a... pineapple art thing

Image
The finished creation. I ordered some free coloured paper samples from a printing service. We made a template of a geometric pineapple and cut out the pieces of coloured card with a utility knife. Arranging them with every edge lining up was almost impossible because of the small inconsistency in our cutting of the shapes, so we spaced them with small gaps. Seeing it finished, I actually think it looks better that way. We glued the pieces into place on a piece of plain paper. Now we're just looking for somewhere in the apartment to put it.
