Instructions

  1. Remove the hardware.

  2. Measure and cut out your paper pieces. You can either cut the pieces to only fit the “face” of the drawer or you can leave a 1/2 inch over hang to fold over on the edges.

    Apply a layer of mod podge on the drawer front, place the paper on top, pressing in the middle and smoothing it to the edges. You can use a flat edge scraper to help push bubbles out. (If your paper is thick, apply a coat to the drawer front and the back side of the paper before placing it.)

    Apply a second coat of mod podge on top. Press the sides down (you can cut the corners off after it dries).
