Numero Uno


Here's my first project of Spring Break. I customized a Fira Mini Chest from Ikea by decorating it just in time for Spring. First, I put the chest together. This was the most annoying part of the project, probably due to my horrible hammering skills.

Next, I primed it and painted two coats of white paint.



After that, I cut out paper for the front of the drawers using an X-ACTO knife, covered the back side with Mod Podge, and stuck it on the front of the drawers. Once attached, I covered the front with a layer of Mod Podge, and that was it! Here's a close-up of the paper:

I probably should have waited a little bit longer to put the drawers in because they started to stick to the chest, but I was too excited to load it up with all of my school supplies. Ta Dah!

I used some of the leftover scrapbook paper to cover the envelope box I had. What do you think?
