 |
Bedhead Construct a large floor-to-ceiling headboard using fretwork panels. Frame the panels with oak veneered MDF. Varnish in a dark woodstain. Bronze using graphite powder, gold powder and beeswax. Use hessian backing and backlight using strip lights. |
 |

 |
 |
Alcoves Use mirror acrylic panels to give a window feel. Surround the panels with home-made bricks. To make the bricks use a combination of MDF, sand and paint. |
 |

 |
 |
Brick art Create your own Moroccan relics by smashing a patterned brick into chunks and place in box frames to look like original museum pieces. |
 |

 |
 |
Moroccan floor art Create Moroccan flooring by using a large piece of fibreboard and squares of hand made paper. Fray the edges of the hardboard and paint in a concrete colour then spray mount on paper mosaics, when finished paint over with high gloss varnish. |
 |

 |
 |
Side tables Make cheap side tables using bar stools. Using a staple gun, upholster all parts in hessian - this also acts as storage as well. |
