Instructions
-
Place the dresser on a drop cloth. Paint the entire dresser with Iliac paint. With FolkArt Home Decor Chalk you will not need a primer. Use 2 or 3 coats of paint until the desired color is reached. Make sure to allow for dry time in between coats.
-
Cut out the design from a poster. For this design, we used an Audrey Hepburn poster. Tape the poster onto the front of the dresser for placement. Make sure the eyes or important features are centered on a drawer.
-
Trim the poster into strips to fit the fronts and back edges of the drawers.
-
Working with one poster strip at a time. Coat the back of the poster strip with Furniture Mod Podge. Position onto the dresser. Smooth with your fingers to remove any air bubbles. Wait 15 minutes and then top-coat with more Mod Podge. Continue this process until each strip is in the proper place.
-
Attach sticky back gems to highlight areas of the poster. We added them to the necklace, earrings and tiara area.
PROJECT TIP: Add a stenciled background to create a textured effect.
