Hello, DIYers! Yesterday I did a few repairs on my papasan (a wicker bowl chair). I started off with the simplest part, gluing down some pieces where one had broken a long time ago:
You can see where a whole section came off (tbh it happened years ago and I have no idea how, lol, I have had this papasan for about 16 years). The ends that remained would pop out of where they should be stapled into place:
So I just glued both ends to the staple to keep them in place. Then I went diving through the craft supplies to find a solution for the middle, which used to have a tie like this:
But it had worn off many years ago. So I found this paper raffia type stuff, and tied it around, and glued it again on the underside:
So hopefully this keeps my papasan going strong for a very long time! :)
Earlier, I was putting away the clean dishes and was inspired by an item I saw on Etsy to store canning rings. So I looked around in my jar/bottle reuse collection and got two soda bottles, and:
So much easier and the rings won't be in chaos in the cupboard! So I thought I would share because I know canning rings can be a bit of an awkward item to store.
That's it from here. I hope y'all are having a wonderful week! :)
