How to Upcycle Old Drawers

Every now and then you are the proud owner of a crappy dresser that you think you can repair...but let's be honest...you never will.

Here's where I come in.
There are decent parts on that dresser that can still be salvaged.
Namely, the drawers.
Just look how cute this is...

I started with some oak drawers that had great handles. Sometimes you thing the handles aren't so great, but then you slap a coat of paint on them and they are perfect!

Slap a coat of paint on the whole thing while your at it.
I skipped the inside bottom 'cause I've got other plans for that.

Lay your drawer down on some printed paper.
I used pale blue faux wood grain wrapping paper.

You'll need one of these...

Cut around the edges of the paper so it's sort of the size of your drawer.
Pour a glob of modge podge on the bottom of the drawer.

Spread it all around...

Place the paper over the modge podge and smooth it with a putty thing.

Trim the edges with the razor.

Hang.

cute.
