Instructions

Step-by-Step Instructions

  1. Wipe dresser to remove any dust or residue. Remove knobs or drawer pulls.

  2. Basecoat the entire dresser with Seaside Villa. Let dry between any additional coats.

  3. Separate approximately four napkins until you have just the printed top layer.

  4. Lay napkins on wax paper and apply a coat of Mod Podge® carefully to the surface. Try to avoid going back over where you brushed as the napkin will wrinkle. Let the napkins dry completely.

  5. When dry, cut out desired elements from napkins. Arrange the cut pieces on the dresser until you have the desired design.

  6. Apply Mod Podge® to the dresser surface and place napkin piece over the Mod Podge®. Smooth with fingers.

  7. Repeat process until all the napkin elements are on the dresser. Brush a coat of Mod Podge® over the napkin pieces to seal. You do not need to seal the entire dresser as the Ultra Matte Chalk finish will blend with the chalk paint.

  8. Pour a medium amount of Cottage White into a paper plate. Dip the layering block into the paint and very lightly drag the block across the surface of the dresser in areas that you want distressed. Lightly drag across the napkin pieces as well. Let dry.

  9. Attach the knobs or drawer pulls back to finish the piece.

I love the look of this little dresser - end table or night stand! I could see it in a bedroom or entry hall, or even as a side sofa table. I think that is a good tip to decoupage the napkin design and let dry before applying to the wood for extra strength and workability. I would love to try to free draw and paint, but this method is so much faster! A great look, practical and fin project. Thanks for the great instructions too!
