Since posting our makeover video of this Lebus set of drawers, a lot of the questions we’re getting are around using fabric to decoupage the drawers and how we do it. Here you go!
Step 1 - Paint your piece of furniture first. If the fabric you’re going to be using is light coloured, then use a lighter colour paint (like white) as your base.
Step 2 - Cut your fabric to roughly the right size.
Step 3 - Apply a layer of Mod Podge (or any good PVA glue) to the furniture, then lay down your fabric over top, pressing down firmly and working out any creases or air bubbles. Then apply another coat of Mod Podge and leave to dry.
Step 4 - Pull the edges of the fabric away gently, so that you can use a blade to trim away the excess fabric along the edges of your furniture. Then use 120 grit sandpaper to smooth out those edges. Apply another coat of Mod Podge and leave to dry.
Step 5 - Use 320 grit sandpaper to sand over the fabric and give it a lovely smooth finish. Wipe away any sanding dust. Touch up your edges with your paint colour.
Step 6 - Seal with two coats of varnish.
Step 7 - Install your new hardware...and you're DONE!
