This is a really neat idea. These ladies came up with a great idea in order to decorate an existing piece of furniture.
It is simple and easy to do and won't cost you very much at all. Maybe you can use this idea in a different way.
Most decorations that you are going to throw away can be reused in some way.
Just because you aren't going to use it for what you originally bought it for doesn't mean it doesn't have a use anymore.
You could also refurbish most and gift them. Friends and family may just love it. Personal gifts are the best to get.
