Today, I have given my ukulele a coloring book makeover with some sharpies.
So long before I ever did adult coloring,
I decided to give my old fridge an upcycle, I grabbed a bunch of sharpies.
I spent weeks and weeks over a two year period slowly working away,
doing a little bit more, even sometimes on a cushion,
very uncomfortably on the floor, coloring in my fridge.
While we were still using it,
which probably wasn't the smartest idea, but I actually lost that fridge.
Unfortunately, I no longer have it.
And this is the only photo I have of it.
So ever since then, I've always wanted to give something like that
another go, probably not another fridge.
It took a while, but I have been wanting
to grab out my sharpies and attack some other objects.
So my first victim is going to be this ukulele.
Now, we came across this ukulele
at a family Kris Kringle, where it was given to one of my boys.
Now, being pink didn't really appeal to him that much.
And so I decided to claim it, but it didn't really keep its tune.
It's very cheap. The strings broke off.
I had to glue some stuff back on and we
decided, you know what, this ukulele needs a makeover.
OK, this is going to take a lot longer
than I thought, because apparently every time I twist this.
Or maybe it wont! I just broke it!
not off to a good start.
Oh, dear.
This one didn't break.
All right, the problem is I don't know which way I'm supposed to be turning it.
Well, something else just broke.
Well, it's a good thing I'm not planning on playing this because I don't really.
It's just falling apart
Look at that,
Oh its like stripped the wood.
Okay, this is definitely good for an art
project and not to actually keep as an instrument.
So I think it has
fallen apart sufficiently now, so I might as well pull these last two off
I don't think even think I have to unscrew them
They're just like ripping off. Whoops, there goes something else
Those two are actually still
screwed in the other two just ripped out
The screws are just...crap
This is what happens when you buy a five
dollar ukulele, which is why we are using this one on the wall.
So now that we've pulled it apart, Shane is going to give it a quick spray
of white paint and then let's pull out the sharpies.
So the final ukulele is a lot more fun than the original.
I'm actually really, really happy with how
this turned out and it is going to go on my wall back here.
So it is never going to be played again, which is probably not a bad thing because
it really didn't sound very good and it kind of broke, as you know.
And I'm not really sure how to re-string it properly.
So it's going on the wall never to be played again, but it will look beautiful.

because this is not going to be the last time I do this.
In fact, I already have my next victim picked out.
But if you have something else that you'd
like to see me Sharpie and do not say fridge, I would love your ideas
Please post them in the comments and I
might just decide to give them a Sharpie make over.
