Romantic Fira mini chest makeover

Materials: 2 Fira mini chests, 12 knobs, paint, glue, wallpaper, pencil, ruler, scissors, drill and paintbrush

Description: I started out with two Fira mini chests. One plain and one had a makeover some years ago with blue paint and white plastic knobs. Now I wanted to make them fit together with identical makeovers.

I started with white painting both chests. (not the drawers) and removing the white plastic knobs from the blue chest.

Then I used the ruler and pencil to draw lines across each drawer in a cross, then it was easy to know where to drill the holes.

Holes were made, I had to redo the ones of the blue drawers as well because the screws of the new knobs were a bit bigger.

The knobs are simple wooden knobs also from IKEA. I painted them with gold paint.

Then I layed out the wallpaper (it is vintage) and placed all 12 drawers on it, and circled each drawer with pencil.

I was careful to put matching numbers from 1 to 12 on each wallpaper square and each matching drawer to make the puzzle easier.

Then I used a small brush to put glue on each drawer and pressed the wallpaper on, so I had to wait for it to dry.

Finally I attached the knobs. Be careful when pushing though the wallpaper so it doesn't rip.

And then I just had to replace the drawers. Quite happy with the result :)
