DIY make-up drawer

Here are my pimped out set of drawers, they used to hold mine and my brother's pokemon card collection for over a decade, but now they have been repurposed! I'm so happy with them. To make your own set you'll need: 

• One set of tatty (or not) wooden drawers
• Paint (Preferably wood paint, or acrylics)
• A Sponge
• Patterned paper
• PVA glue
• Varnish

I chose cream paint and thick (slighty expensive) floral paper. However nice wrapping paper would look great too, maybe even experiment with newspapers, vinyl sleeves, textiles. I dare you!

First of all remove the drawers and paint the exterior by dabbing it with the sponge (removing excess paint before sponging). If you lay it on too thick then the finish won't be as great and it'll need three or four coats to get an opaque finish. (Be careful not to paint inside the space where the drawers will go as this could cause the drawers to stick.)

Measure the drawers and use scissors/a guillotine to cut out the shapes. Also measure where the handles are and cut out the holes. When you're done apply PVA to the back of the paper and apply to the drawers. When the paint and paper is dry give them a varnish and you're done!

Have fun! xx
