Take it step by step with persistence

Step 1

Arrange the workplace by placing old newspapers where you will work. Start by spraying the tin can with the colour spray. Gradually rotate the can carefully to even out surfaces. Protective gloves are recommended.

Step 2

Next apply the primer on the wall of some boxes and follow with the chosen colour of craft paint. Small paint brushes should be used to finish the ends and certify the quality of the end product.

Step 3

To avoid drilling unnecessary holes into the wall you can join smaller boxes into a bigger piece. Brush the front side with wood glue and press them together by making use of a clap or two.

Step 4 - Making the templates

Use a pencil or a printer if you have at hand to draw the wanted motif on cardboard, follow by simply cutting them out with high exactness. Fix the template with double sided tape on the drawer front and with care dab more craft paint on with the stipple brush. Here the brush will be dipped with a little colour. You can use printed designs and decoupage them on if painting isn’t your thing.

Step 5

Now in the top third of the can drill a hole with the cordless drill and metal drill bit and with the wood drill holes for the knobs in some drawers. Attach the can with a screw, nut and washer. Furniture Knobs typically have a long thread and if it should be certainly sewn of with a hacksaw. Stick the knobs inside through the drilled hole to see precisely how much you have to saw off.

Step 6

Now merely arrange the boxes in a graphic arrangement on the wall and screw them. Small boxes can be implanted easily above or on the side. By placing them above you improve the versatility. You can simply take them down when you need them or put them somewhere else.
