This week I've been talking about up
cycling with freebies! If you haven't read the first post on my free
vanity go here.
Ok so on to the next... The I have to get rid of this stuff Asap because I'm moving Free stuff!
I got a call from my sister in law who says her granny is moving.
I was a little
hesitant at first because nothing came to me.. no inspiration or anything. I couldn't believe it myself plus it looked kinda kiddish.
Well at the last moment I decided to take it as well. At the time
I'd been wanting to cover a dresser in fabric so this piece would
make a great tester. Yelp! And so it was.... See
I used a crocodile fabric I purchased
several months ago from Hancocks Fabrics. At the time I had know
idea what I was use it for, but this was the end of the bolt red dot
thingy sale. I had just enough to recover the dresser with a little
left for a cube table. You can see it here. I'll do a post soon.
Materials:
Dresser
Fabric
Spray Adhesive
Thumb tacks
Staple gun/staples
There was nothing to it really.
- Measure and Cut- I measured the top, sides and drawers and cut the fabric to those sizes.
- Use glue and Adhere- I used a spray adhesive to apply the glue to the fabric and dresser. Starting in one corner I pressed it down with my hands and smoothed it all the way across the portion of the dresser I was working on.
After using the glue I stapled the top,
bottom and sides of the dresser with staples. I did this only on the
edges of the dresser(don't worry it can't be seen.) Ex: on the side
panel underneath the bottom... were it meets the floor.

| See staples at the bottom 3. Add nailhead- Once again I use thumb tacks as my nail-head trim. If you didn't see the first project (a free sofa) I used them on click here. Using a hammer and cardboard as a guide I just hammered them right in. No Problimo.. Lol  |
That's all folks! Free Up-cycled
dresser. 
Oh and Free Owl and Elephant from my sister in law too! Thanks Jen
