That’s definitely thrifty enough for this thrifty girl.Īnd I have a lot of the contact paper and wallpaper left to replace any damage that might happen in the future. I had the roll of double sided tape, cup hooks, and curtain rod in my stash from ages ago, but if you wanted to add in that cost it would probably be about $10, for a grand total of $40. So we’re talking about $30 total, if you count the piece of the $1 thrifted sheet that I used for the skirt. In Canadian funds the wallpaper was $41 and I used about half the contact paper was $27 and I used about a third. I love it when you can create such a big transformation in so little time, and this project was pretty thrifty too. I did it over two afternoons, and it took about five hours altogether. If I didn’t have to paint the desk first I easily could have done this makeover in one afternoon. This is a thicker sheet so I didn’t feel the need to hem the bottom or the sides that are on the outside of the skirt. I simply cut it to length, and then cut that in half, and hung it with the hemmed sides meeting in the middle. This sheet was perfect for this project because the top hem was open so I didn’t have to do any sewing. I’m a gal who loves contrast, so I love the look of the funky floral fabric with the faux wood contact paper. Now I have a great place to take small project photos, as well as pics for my etsy shop items. And here’s the after of my farmhouse meets funky craft desk makeover.
