Sketch Swap. kColors - Random Color Generator. My New Fabric-Covered Box Drawers! I did a project yesterday! And it turned out even better than it looked in my head!! Isn’t it the best thing ever when that happens?! Our house is extremely (embarrassingly?) Ikea-heavy with the decor… so I’ve been trying to find ways to personalize our Ikea, make our home more us. I got these awesome vintage handles from Portland vintage-stuff-shop Smut (So Many Unique Treasures) awhile back, for some other project that didn’t really happen… so they were waiting for the perfect use… And then in the move, we discovered that these boxes we were using from Pete’s work fit exactly perfectly into this shelving unit!
So, I’m going to show you how I made them, but you may just want to use some concepts with different kinds of boxes and a different kind of shelving unit to fit your own home needs… For each drawer, I used: Start out by cutting the three (side and back) top flaps off the box. The screws holding it in place will help keep the fabric all lined up while gluing. Tah dah!
