You Will Need (13 things)

  • Cupboard Door
  • 1 Black Acrylic Paint
  • Black Spray Paint
  • Leftover White House Paint
  • 4 Machine Screw(s)
  • 2 Drawer Pulls
  • Newspaper
  • Drill
  • Screw Driver
  • Paint Brushes
  • Wood Filler
  • Sand Paper
  • Felt Pads

Steps (7 steps, 1440 minutes)

  1. 1

    Spray-paint your drawer pulls—top and bottom—if desired. Follow the directions on the can.

  2. 2

    Draw your pattern with pencil. (Many of you talented artists could probably skip this step, grab your paintbrush, and go for it. I’m not one of you, so I had to sketch it first.)

  3. 3

    Start painting over the lines. Work top to bottom, left to right (if you’re right-handed), so you don’t smear the paint. Apply thickly so you will only need one coat. (I used this same technique on this tabletop.) Let dry for several hours. Erase any stray pencil marks when dry.

  4. 4

    Using wood filler, fill the holes where the hinges attached on the back. Let dry. Sand smooth with a piece of sandpaper. Wipe off the sanding dust

  5. 5

    Attach felt pads on the bottom at each corner.

  6. 6

    Measure, mark, and drill the holes for your handles. The left ones were pre-drilled on mine, so I matched the placement on the right.

  7. 7

    Screw on the handles. You’re done!
