The fabric allows you to conceal unsightly necessities like WIFI routers and TV boxes without obstructing their signal. The framed doors have an MDF core and are available in two finishes. The painted, coloured edge is sprayed several times for a smooth finish using a high-quality paint and the natural oak edge features an oak veneer.It’s relevant to mention that the linen textile doors are considered delicate and should be handled with care. A sharp edge applied on the face of the textile may result in a tear. Pictured in our beige/beige colour combination but you can change the colour as per your preference. NOTE: Where a top exceeds 78 ¾”, as this one does, we have split the top into 2x 71 ½ “ tops (each sized for one side) in order to make the size more efficient for shipping purposes. You have the option to select the top(s) with or without a cable management cutout. Note that the optional cutout in this configuration is positioned in the centre. This combination does not include legs and assumes that you will wall mount your cabinet. We recommend adding handles to personalize your doors, but if you prefer a handle-free solution, we suggest using IKEA’s push-open mechanisms. Please check our hardware section for handle availability. Please refer to our planning & assembly guides below Sample boxes can be ordered here. Bundle ref: STL011

Get some lovely color effects with freezer paper masks and glue gel resist. Welcome to my final Kitchen Resists tutorial. In this one we really "layer it on" using freezer paper masks and a resist made from blue school glue gel. If you can't find the blue glue gel- clear glue gel or white glue will also work. The fabrics I made in this project have many paint layers, but you can choose to apply fewer layers and still get some great results. Don't forget to leave a comment at the end of this post or my posts from January 3 or January 10 in order to be eligible for my giveaway of a copy of my book, Fabric Printing at Home: Quick and Easy Fabric Design Using Fresh Produce and Found Objects, plus one yard of Prepared for Dyeing cotton. I'll be choosing a winner on January 31. Layer it On! Freezer Paper Masks and Blue Glue Gel Resist You will need the following materials for this project: To create the mask designs: Prepared for Dyeing cotton fabric (or pre-washed 100% cotton fabric). I used 12" x 15" pieces. Freezer paper (I use Reynold's). Craft knife with #11 blades. Self-healing cutting mat. Optional: Small sharp scissors. #2 pencil (optional). Iron and ironing board. Optional: Pressing cloth. To create resist designs: Blue school glue gel. Optional: Detailer Writer. A Detailer Writer is a small squeeze bottle with a precision tip. Use it if you want finer lines. To paint over the designs: A flat work surface covered with plastic. I like to make 15" x 20" Portable Work Surfaces with foam board covered with plastic film. Go here to learn how to make them. A 15" x 20" piece of cotton or muslin for each Portable Work Surface. This fabric will act as a blotter when painting over the resist-covered fabric. Masking tape. Transparent fabric paints (I like to use Pebeo Setacolor Transparent fabric paints). Use colors straight out of the bottle or mix custom colors starting with the lightest color and gradually adding darker colors. Dilute to the consistency of light cream to help prevent breaching of (breaking through) the resist (If you use Setacolor, it will be about a 1:1.5 ratio paint to water). Opaque fabric paints (I like to use Pebeo Setacolor Opaque fabric paints). Use colors straight out of the bottle or mix custom colors. Do not dilute. Plastic containers and spoons for mixing paints. Foam brushes to apply transparent paints. Foam daubers to apply opaque paints. Go here to learn how to make them. Dense foam brayers (I use Testrite) to apply opaque paints. Glass or Plexiglas palettes to roll out opaque paints. Wipe-up cloth. To set and remove the resist: Iron and ironing board. (2) Pressing cloths. Plastic tub that fits in your kitchen sink. Liquid dishwashing soap. Torn Freezer Paper Masks To create the fabrics in this project start by tearing strips of freezer paper. Iron the strips onto the fabric with the plastic-coated side facing the fabric. Strips can be ironed on horizontally, vertically or to create a grid pattern. (Optional: Use a pressing cloth over the strips to protect the iron) First Layer: Painting Over the Strips Paint the uncovered fabric between the freezer paper strips with alternating colors to create beautiful backgrounds with interesting color mixing. 1. Mix up two colors of transparent fabric using either the normal dilution (1 part paint to 2 parts water) or the slightly thicker dilution (1 part paint to 1.5 parts water). 2. Use foam brushes to apply the paint. Alternate the two colors and paint the fabric between strips. Paint up to and along the edge of the torn freezer paper. 3. Let the paint dry completely before removing the freezer paper. Notice the beautiful color mixing created by this technique. Second Layer: Drawing Blue Glue Gel Designs Draw designs with blue school glue gel. When dry the glue acts as a resist when adding more paint layers. 1. Use blue school glue gel directly from the bottle or squeeze some into a plastic Detailer Writer. Draw designs on the painted fabric. 2. Let the glue dry completely. Additional Layers of Paint After the blue glue gel dries use some of the following techniques to add paint layers over the resist. 1. Tear additional freezer paper strips and iron them onto the fabric covering different parts of the fabric from the first round (I suggest using a pressing cloth to protect your iron). Tear additional freezer paper strips and iron them over the dried glue designs. 2. Or use a craft knife and self-healing cutting mat to cut out designs from a sheet of freezer paper, then iron it to your glue-covered fabric. 3. Mix up additional colors of either transparent fabric paint (1:1.5 ratio paint to water) or opaque paint. 4. Tape a piece of cotton or muslin to your Portable Work Surface and then tape your fabric with torn or cut freezer paper designs on top. The fabric underneath will act as a blotter, absorbing the excess transparent fabric paint, and preventing breaching of (breaking through) the resist. Tape a piece of muslin or cotton underneath the glue-covered fabric to prevent additional layers of wet paint from seeping under the resist. 5. Use foam brushes to apply transparent fabric paint to the uncovered areas. Paint up to the edges of the torn freezer paper masks as you did with the first layer of paint. Optional: Use a wipe-up cloth to pick up excess paint. 6. To apply opaque fabric paint over torn strips or craft knife-cut designs, use foam daubers to daub paint over the exposed fabric areas and along the edges of the freezer paper masks. 7. For a soft pastel texture roll over the freezer paper masks with a paint-covered dense foam brayer. Spoon 1/4 teaspoon of opaque paint onto the glass palette. Roll out the paint until the brayer is evenly coated. Then roll over the freezer paper masks. 8. You can use one, two or all three of these paint application techniques for different effects. See the finished fabrics below and read the captions to see the sequence of paint layers. Setting the Paint and Removing the Resist 1. See the instructions from my first blog post for setting the fabric paint. 2. To remove the blue glue gel resist: Place the resist-covered fabric(s) in the plastic tub. Add warm water and some liquid dishwashing soap. Let the fabric(s) soak for at least 10 minutes to soften the glue. Rub to remove the resist or use a soft toothbrush. You will need to occasionally dump and refill the tub with warm soapy water until all the resist is removed. 3. I like to put the fabric through a delicate machine wash (warm or cold water with some detergent), just to be sure that all the resist is removed. 4. Machine or air dry. Below is a selection of fabrics created with these techniques. 1. Red and blue transparent fabric paint applied over torn freezer paper strips. 2. Blue school glue gel designs drawn on fabric with Detailer Writer. 3. Second layer of torn freezer paper strips ironed to fabric exposing different areas. 4. Red and blue transparent fabric paint applied in opposite sequence to first application. 1. Yellow-green and blue transparent fabric paint applied over torn freezer paper strips. 2. Blue school glue gel designs drawn on fabric with a Detailer Writer. 3.Second layer of torn freezer paper strips ironed to fabric to expose different areas. 4. Rust brown and red transparent fabric paint applied to exposed areas. 5. Removed freezer paper strips and ironed on a new layer of torn freezer paper strips to expose different areas to paint. 6. Blue, light green and turquoise opaque fabric applied to exposed areas with a foam dauber. 1. Light blue and blue-violet transparent fabric paint applied over torn freezer paper strips (strips ironed onto fabric to form a grid design).2. Blue school glue gel designs drawn on fabric with Detailer Writer. 3. Designs cut out of a sheet of freezer paper using a craft knife. 4. Freezer paper with cut designs ironed to fabric. 5. Turquoise paint applied to open areas of freezer paper mask using a foam dauber. 6. Black paint applied over open areas of freezer paper mask using a dense foam brayer. 7. Freezer paper mask removed and fabric painted with violet transparent fabric paint. Thank you for joining me for this first month of The Printed Fabric Bee's "reboot".
