Description

I am in love with almost anything lucite and love that I was able to combine my lucite and organization love into one project.

Instructions

  1. Small 2014 03 12 194557 box

    To get started, I made a quick trip to Michael's this afternoon and purchased this acrylic shadow box for $8.99. The one I used for this project measured 11" x 14".

  2. Small 2014 03 12 194701 handles2

    I have had these IKEA acrylic handles for several months now and have been waiting to use them on just the right project. And here we are! (You cannot beat the price of these...$2.99 for a 6-pack!)

  3. Small 2014 03 12 194930 eyeballing holes

    The next step is to measure where you want the handles. Place a dot on the frame where your screws will go.

  4. Small 2014 03 12 195144 drilling holes

    Drill, baby, drill! [Be sure to drill slowly as you do not want the frame to crack].

  5. Now attach your handles using small screws. The screws that came with the handles were way too long and therefore the handle was not secure at.all. Be sure to use small flat tip screws here.

  6. Small 2014 03 12 195333 finished noliner

    Voila! You can choose to leave as is, or cover the bottom with some funky fabric. Guess what I did...

    I found a scrap piece of black and white chevron fabric and placed in the bottom of the tray.
