I wanted picture frames where the picture “floats” in the center of the frame, but they were surprisingly expensive (25€+ for small frames) and didn’t come in square sizes. I then had the idea to make three hanging “floating” style frames out of square Ribba picture frames. This Ribba Gallery-Style Floating Picture Frame hack uses the following: 6x Ribba picture frames (23x23cm) 1x Ikea Räcka curtain rod and rails Behandla glazing paint (white) Hanging chain and hooks (from hardware store) I bought six Ribba frames (to make 3 finished frames), removed the cardboard backing from one frame and replaced it with glass from the second frame. I then sandwiched a print in between the two sheets of glass. The photo didn’t require any tape or glue to stay in the frame, but was held in place by pressure from the two glass panes. I drilled two small holes for the hanging hooks at the top of each frame, drilling slightly toward the back of the frame for best balance (since the glass wa...

This is a fun IKEA Kids table hack with city map of your choice using MapBox. IKEA item: IKEA Kritter table (but you can use any IKEA table like an IKEA Lack table) I had an old IKEA kids table kicking around the home that my kids had grown out of. I decided it was time for a makeover with a map. I’m a bit obsessed with maps and recently discovered a fantastic free website Mapbox.com where you can zoom into any city in the world and print a map of that city in any style you like. My favourite city is my home city, Hong Kong. So using MapBox I got a map of Hong Kong in blue and printed it out. I was going to use the Mod Podge image transfer method to get the map onto my table so I printed a mirror image of the map with a laser printer. After painting the legs of my IKEA table blue and the top white , I stuck the printed Hong Kong map face down onto the table top using Mod Podge. After the Mod Podge had dried, using a wet sponge I rubbed away the paper to reveal the map im...
