REDO YOUR DRESSER!
— By: Angie, 13, NJ (aka moobak)

Redecorating your dresser or armoire is fun, inexpensive, and easy. You’ll need drawer pulls or knobs (you can get these at home improvement stores) and your choice of acrylic paint, stickers (optional), paintbrushes, and Mod Podge (from craft stores); or 3-inch squares of fabric and rubber bands, fun hair ties, or ribbons and beads. FYI, knobs are the round ones and pulls are the arched ones with two ends.

If you are painting your knobs/pulls:
Step 1: Using your paintbrush, paint a base coat on your knob/pull. Let that dry, then paint another coat of the same color over it. Let dry.
Step 2: If you want, you can use a smaller paint brush to paint patterns such as stripes, stars, zig-zags, and polka dots on your pulls/knobs.
Step 3: You can also stick stickers on the painted pulls/knobs. Make sure to press them down so they stick to rounded edges.
Step 4: Use a paintbrush to coat knobs/pulls with Mod Podge. Let dry.

If you are using fabric:
Step 1: If you are using ribbons and beads, cut an 8-inch length of ribbon for each draw/pull. Knot one end of each ribbon.
Step 2: String a few beads on that end, then some beads on the other end. Make sure you know the other end as well.
Step 3: For your knobs, place the center of each knob in the center of a piece of fabric. Wrap the fabric around the knob and tie it with a rubber band, hair tie, or ribbon.
Step 4: It might be more difficult to wrap your pulls with fabric. However, you can still tie a decorated ribbon to the center of your pulls. You can even tie the ribbon in a bow!

When you are done making the pulls/knobs, ask a grown-up to take out your old knobs and pulls and install the new ones. Your grown-up will probably need a screwdriver. And you’re done! Voila!
