Instructions

  • Clean out the drawer completely and wipe it down. Let dry.
    Open drawer with nothing inside
  • Flip your fabric upside down and place it in the drawer. Use a pencil to trace out the shape of the drawer on the back of the fabric.

  • Cut out the fabric and place it back into the drawer to make sure that it fits. If it doesn't, trim further until it fits exactly.
  • Add a little Mod Podge at a time, then place the fabric on top - working your way across the entire drawer. Use your hands to smooth out any bubbles; if you have a brayer, that is preferable. Let the Mod Podge dry for 2 hours before the next step.
