Imaginarium Designs - Off The Page Project

Hi, today I want to share a Off The Page project that I made for Imaginarium Designs. Due to the many tutorials and details of this project, I will be splitting and sharing afew posts on this project over the next few days.

"The Repair Shop"



Inspired greatly by the chipboard windows, bicycles and the gears, I made a miniature repair shop. Today I will share on how to make the base and main body of shop.

Used a wood board for the base. I mask off the rest of the area with masking tape. Then cover a portion of the board with texture paste over a stencil. Heat dry.

Paint over it with acrylic paint to create the stone pavement.

 Then I cover the rest of board with a green felt as grass patch.

Adhered some moss randomly.

I used a S$2 Daiso white wooden box (that's hollow base) for the main body of shop. Then I cut a piece of cardboard, cover with patterned paper and cut out the space for the chipboard windows and adhere to the box. After which I cover the sides with brick patterned papers.

For the floor in the shop, I scored strips of kraft papers, rub over with graphite Viva Decor Inka Gold, then arranged and adhered down to floor. Note that I added a thin strip of wood to widen the floor space abit (painted the wood strip white before adhere).

For the chipboard windows, gears, corners, frames and the diecut tools (glued about 7 layers of diecut kraft papers), I colored them with Viva Decor Inka Gold-Graphite, Silver and Bronze.

I made the table from wood sheet and strips and wooden decorative legs and inked randomly with distress ink to give it a dirty look. For the peg board, I cut from a foam sheet, used piercer to poke holes and twist wires around the tools to hang them on the peg board. And they can be removed easily. I made the kraft tool boxes (below the table) from scratch too.

Here's some pictures of the miniature shop:






For the chipboard bicycles, I painted them white, then go over certain parts with Sharpie pens and added black half pearls at centre of wheel.
