Storage Drawers Makeover

I've had a set of plastic storage drawers ever since I rescued it from my dorm at App when someone else had decided to throw it out. It's been super handy for storing my office supplies and what not at home. Now that we're in AZ and I've got mom's old roll-top, all of the office items are stored there.

After spotting this pin on pinterest, I decided to spruce my drawers up and turn in into my craft storage (Here is a link to the blog it is from). I went to the craft store and picked out some coordinating paper that would work well with the teal frame of the drawers. Then I got out my X-acto, ruler, pencil, foam brush and Mod Podge and went to town! My drawers were a little wider than 12" so I just centered the paper on the drawer and cut the excess off the top. Make sure if you do this to put Mod Podge on the inside of the drawer before you put the paper on and then a good coat on the back side of the paper as well.


I don't have the fancy step-by-step photos, and I blame that directly on the fact that I was too excited to do this project that I just kept going without thinking. haha

Tada! Finished Product... I'm SO happy with how it turned out!

You don't have to be crafty to be able to do this.. and it looks super cute afterward! :)
