Cedric earns his keep

Hello there, Cedric here today. Remember our previous posts have shown this


On our desk? Remember the bears' intention to do 'something' with it? Well I got bored of the pawcrastination, and decided to take action.

Dressed in my decorating best....


With paw sized paint roller to hand....


and of course, some paint


Oh, and some very necessary mid-painting snacks





I set to my painting and decorating task. First, I removed the drawers from the unit.


Then loaded up my roller


And rolled away.


Next, I drew a template for my drawer fronts.


And cut carefully to size






I adhered the paper with Podgy's special glue, note he corrected the mis-spelling!


I applied a thin coat of the Mod Podgey


And pressed my patterned paper over the top, smoothing out any lumps or bumps before it could stick fast!


I used contrasting papers for a more interesting effect.


After all my hard work, Podgy cooked me a hearty supper.


After leaving the unit to dry overnight. I reassembled it on the bears' desk.


A very simple decoration technique, but it looks so much better than it did bare (bare, bear, funny eh? No? Hmm, maybe we have an odd sense of humour!)


With love from the bears.
