Hot Mama In The City

I have teamed up with Habitat Home Center to bring you this re-purposed cabinet door do-it-yourself project for their #DontTrashIt campaign.



Habitat for Humanity of San Antonio Home Center is wholly owned and operated by Habitat for Humanity of San Antonio and serves as a home improvement thrift store. The Habitat Home Center’s take in material donations and resell these donations to the public at a highly discounted price. 100% of the proceeds made by the  Home Center benefit Habitat for Humanity of San Antonio. Since they take in material donations, Habitat Home Center is really big on reducing the amount of waste sent to the landfills and tries to give people the alternative of donating their items instead of discarding them. In turn, they try to promote the purchasing of donated items. 

• Cabniet door
• Fabric or scrapbook paper
• Decorative hooks and knobs
• Spay paint
• Mod podge 
• Glue
• Sand paper (optional)

Instructions: 

 Once you have your supplies, it's all about sanding, painting and piecing everything together.

1. First I went over the cabinet door with some sand paper to remove dirt and oil and to even out any knicks.
2. Spray paint the door.
3. Cut the fabric to fit the center of the door.
4. Coat a thin layer of Mod Podge where you want your fabric piece to go and then place your fabric on top of the wet mod podge and smooth out any bubbles or wrinkles. 
5. Once your fabric is smoothed out, coat a layer of mod podge over the fabric.
6. When mod podge is dry, use glue to attach decorative knobs and hooks.

* Tip: Cut fabric slightly bigger than the center of your door and once mod podge is dry, use an Xacto or any sharp blade to remove excess fabric.
