Default Off your trolley Lol!!

Hi Amelies, to turn a trolley into a press? you have the start of it done already--take off wheels, attach to wall with D brackets. To fill in sides-a few options , fill from the inside as the framework of the trolley will be a natural frame and also hide any wobbly edges. Cut 2 pieses of light plywood or whatever you have. These can be tacked on with panel pins from the inside. Before you attach them you can 1. paint wood to match decor of room, 2 stain wood same colour as trolley, 3 paper panels with wallpaper from room or other offcuts, 4 cover panels with a material of your choice. You now have a cupboard with three sides. For the front you could repurpose old doors from kitchen or elsewhere, find two same size picture frames as I did and attach, or leave open as a book shelf etc. You could also work on the top. Lots of these trollies have a raised edge on 3 0r 4 sides. you could tile the top with some small tiles, mosaic, stones, crystals etc for a truly unique look. Happy crafting,
