Decoupage Dresser Ideas

Step 1: Choose a Dresser to Transform

{ "animations": [{ "selector": ".text-container", "keyframes": { "transform": ["translateY(50px)", "translateY(0)"], "opacity": [0, 1] }, "duration": 200 }] } Select a dresser with smooth, flat drawer fronts. Even older or mismatched dressers can shine with this DIY!

Step 2: Pick Your Design

{ "animations": [{ "selector": ".text-container", "keyframes": { "transform": ["translateY(50px)", "translateY(0)"], "opacity": [0, 1] }, "duration": 200 }] } Choose a wallpaper or fabric pattern you love—florals, abstract prints, or bold colors work beautifully.

Step 3: Prepare the Surface

{ "animations": [{ "selector": ".text-container", "keyframes": { "transform": ["translateY(50px)", "translateY(0)"], "opacity": [0, 1] }, "duration": 200 }] } Remove the hardware and sand lightly to ensure a smooth finish. Clean the surface to remove any dust or residue.

Step 4: Cut Your Material to Fit

{ "animations": [{ "selector": ".text-container", "keyframes": { "transform": ["translateY(50px)", "translateY(0)"], "opacity": [0, 1] }, "duration": 200 }] } Measure each drawer front and cut your fabric or wallpaper accordingly, leaving a bit of excess for clean edges.

Step 5: Apply Adhesive

{ "animations": [{ "selector": ".text-container", "keyframes": { "transform": ["translateY(50px)", "translateY(0)"], "opacity": [0, 1] }, "duration": 200 }] } Use a decoupage medium or craft glue to coat the surface. Press the material on carefully, smoothing out bubbles.

Step 6: Seal the Surface

{ "animations": [{ "selector": ".text-container", "keyframes": { "transform": ["translateY(50px)", "translateY(0)"], "opacity": [0, 1] }, "duration": 200 }] } Brush on a top coat of decoupage glue to protect the design and add a soft, durable finish. Let it dry completely.

Enjoy Your New Statement Piece!

{ "animations": [{ "selector": ".text-container", "keyframes": { "transform": ["translateY(50px)", "translateY(0)"], "opacity": [0, 1] }, "duration": 200 }] } Your dresser now looks designer-made—and it’s all thanks to your creativity! Perfect for bedrooms, nurseries, or hallways.
