Guide step %d
1   Prime the front of each drawer with off-white Plus Color craft paint. This makes the patterns, colours and designs on the thin decoupage paper appear as clear as possible. A TIP! Avoid getting paint on the sides by painting from the centre towards the edges. Leave to dry.

2   Cut a piece of decoupage paper slightly bigger than the front of the drawer. Apply decoupage lacquer to the front of the drawer.

3   Place the decoupage paper in the wet decoupage lacquer and smooth it out evenly. Apply a coat of decoupage lacquer on top of the decoupage paper all the way to the edges. (This stiffens the paper, making it easier to trim later). Leave to dry.
