Make-a-Face Dresser
by Debra Immergut, Photograph by Joe Polillio
An assortment of drawer pulls and a little imagination can revive a plain old dresser (or rehab a tag-sale find). Plan a fun outing to the hardware store to select the perfect knobs and handles.
- Materials
-
- dresser
- screwdriver
- lightweight plaster material, such as Spackle, or wood filler
- putty knife
- fine sandpaper
- paint and brush or roller
- assorted drawer pulls
- repositionable glue dots
- drill and bits
- adhesive craft foam (optional)
- Instructions
-
-
Use the screwdriver to remove existing drawer hardware. With the putty knife, fill the holes with plaster material (such as Spackle) or wood filler.
-
Sand and paint the dresser as desired.
-
Design a face by attaching the drawer pulls temporarily with glue dots. (Keep in mind that you'll want the drawers to open and close easily with the new pulls.)
-
When you have a face you like, drill holes as needed, then secure the new hardware. Cut and adhere craft foam pupils, if desired.
