You Will Need (4 things)

  • Sponge Paint Brush
  • Small Paint brushes
  • Acrylic Paint
  • Wooden Magazine files

Steps (3 steps, 60 minutes)

  1. 1

    Gather your supplies. I used untreated wood magazine files from Ikea ($10 online), acrylic paint, and an assortment of paint brushes.

  2. 2

    Paint the inside and outside of the magazine files using large sponge paint brushes. I two coats of paint for the inside and three for the outside. After the outside has dried, use a smaller flat paint brush to add minimal contrasting patterns to the outsides.

  3. 3

    Fill the files up with your favorite magazines, sit back, and admire your pretty workspace. :)
