Since I didn't want this to be too labour intensive (my mind starts to wander at a certain point), I just used wood glue to assemble. After gluing, I snapped on some rubber bands to keep it all together while drying.
That's it! I've got a few more to unpack, so I just may add to this wall.
Hi Everyone! Janis here, from Pinecone Camp. Thought I'd share a pretty simple d.i.y. that I did for a li collection of vintage Kokeshi that I've had for years.
I had started out with wanting to display 6 kokeshi, but one had an unfortunate accident. I snapped her head off. Too hard to glue at this time ;) I decided on the sizes of boxes I wanted, and measured out the pieces on a scrap of plywood.

I cut the fabric to fit the bottom of the box then, using a little spray glue, attached it to a piece of card board. I wanted it to be easy to switch up back drops, if I decide to display something else....like my collection of deer. You can easily pop out the back drop this way.
That's it! I've got a few more to unpack, so I just may add to this wall.

Have a good day!
Mise, paint away. I just like the look of plywood...and I'm also lazy. ;)
I really like the wood and fabrics.
thanks for sharing this!
Kai, that's a great idea. I needed specific sizes for this project though.
ps i love the reads and photographs on pinecone camp-not to mention all the yummy recipes i find there. thanks again for all the inspiration <3
And good idea using elastic bands to hold them while they dry, I'll be remembering that one
Could you tell me the measure (thickness) of the wood used?
Thank you!!
If you try this project out, let us know. Would love to see it.
But where did you find the beautiful kokeshi's?
