Your hack description: Please provide adequate explanation on how your hack is achieved. Be concise. Be clear. Be you. And yeah, what you write may be edited for content and clarity.
Photos: At least 1 photo is required and must be in .jpeg, .png or .gif format. I love seeing step-by-steps photos, so if you have those, please add them. Photos should not be larger than 800 pixels (width) or 320KB. You can resize your pictures here.
THE RULE: This is the only but most important requirement. The hack MUST involve at least one Ikea item hacked.
Leads: If you didn't hack it but came across an interesting one, just follow the same submission steps and add a link to the original post.
What happens after you click "Submit": Your post is sent to my "Draft" folder. I check out your hack if everything is in place, will post it within 5 working days. If it does not appear within 5 days, uh-oh, read the following.
Why your hack may not appear on Ikeahacker: Not all hacks that come through here will make the cut. That is just the way it is. The most common reasons are:
1. Bad photo or no photo.
2. No Ikea item hacked. Other furniture/hardware store items may be in the mix but the Ikea item must be modified or repurposed from its original intent.
3. Incomprehensible description.
4. The hacking is too minor/insignificant.
5. It's an "any-other-furniture-store" hack.
6. Promotion. No promotion of any products, stores, websites, press releases, spam. Please.
7. "Borderline" hack. Hacky, yet not quite, such as:
- Cut fabrics. Cutting fabric and making it into a skirt, dress, pillow case etc. Fabric is meant to be cut and made into something else, plus we've seen a lot of this already.
- Repainting. We've also seen a lot of repainting (solely) before. Eg. painting over a white cabinet with red paint (matte, hi-gloss, whatever).
