Hi everyone~I had this cute little chest { by Kaiser} in my stash for a couple of years and thought it was time to do something with it. I used Helmar Decoupage, Helmar 450 Quick Dry, Helmar Zapdots and Authentique/Uncommon. The hardest part of this project was getting the little chest put together and aligned properly but after that was done, it went together quickly.
I covered the chipboard with Helmar's Decoupage and Authentique. I sanded the edges and inked them very lightly. This stage took some time. Be sure to let each drawer dry completely.
This is a back view. I used the book text for this and loved how it looked with my "made by" stamp.
Inside the little drawers view~
The embellishments from Authentique are adhered with Helmar 450 Quick Dry and Helmar Zapdots! The shiny buttons are by Bazzill Basics and the crocheted flower by my mother in law { a handmade original}!!
This was a fun project to watch it come together ~ but it did take a couple of days to complete. I let it dry really good after each use of the decoupage. Hope you enjoyed this and have a great day!
See ya soon!!
That's totally adorable!!

I LOVE THIS!!! OH MY!
ReplyDeleteAmazing! This so caught my eye. I am getting ready to do a dresser and just could not settle on an idea of what I wanted to do, until now. Now I can't wait to get started. I know it's a little different, I'll use fabric, but it's the same idea. Thank you so much and I'm looking forward to more great ideas with you.
