How-to
Prepare dresser by cleaning the surface and applying paint, if desired.
Press fabric with iron. Place right side down.
Remove handle hardware from dresser drawers.
Place front of dresser drawer onto fabric as shown. Measure, mark and cut fabric with enough excess to allow you to wrap the fabric around the top of the drawer—about 2".
Protect surfaces from overspray with newspaper, plastic or craft paper.
Follow directions on can and work in a well-ventilated area. Spray fabric and dresser drawer front with 3M™ Super 77™ Multipurpose Adhesive.
Wait 30 seconds and press them together firmly. Fold corners as you would with a present; staple if necessary.
Repeat steps 6 and 7 for each drawer.
Locate holes for hardware and make a small "X" in fabric with a utility knife.
Attach new hardware—now enjoy the fresh, new look.
