Paper Drawers

I made this project a couple of years ago, and still love it! It has sat on my desk in two different homes. It holds all those little desk objects, and keeps them organized.

• Take a simple Ikea wooden drawer unit, add paper, to create something unique and colourful. 
• After picking out a bunch of papers that I really liked, I cut them to size for each drawer. 
• Then I used Mod Podge glue to paste them on to the wood and to smooth the edges over the sides and top. Make sure to use plenty glue to make flat edges so the paper doesn't come off. 
• The key is to work with the paper to smooth it through the holes and over the top. 

It's a fairly simple project that could be done in an afternoon if you have everything ready to go. The hardest part is picking out the paper!

Create something new from a common place object!
