You will need:
- Primer - white
- Water-based Enamel : white - soft pink - apple green
- Medium foam roller
- Paint tray
- Spray enamel - clear gloss
- Sandpaper
- Drop cloth
- Clean cloth
- Wooden flowers (or other decorative object - available at most craft stores)
- Drill or hammer and medium-sized nail
Here's how:
1. Spread the drop cloth in a large area outdoors. Remove the
drawers and drawer knobs. Sand the dresser, knobs, and
wooden flowers until smooth. Use a clean cloth to wipe away
excess dust.
2. Apply an even coat of primer to each of the dresser components
and wooden flowers. Be sure to follow the manufacturer's
recommendations for preparation, application, and drying time.
3. Apply an even coat of white to the dresser body and the drawer
knobs. While the dresser and knobs are drying, apply one coat
of soft pink paint to the drawer fronts. Apply a second coat, if
necessary, within 1 hour or after 24 hours.
4. Apply an even coat of green onto the wooden flowers. Once dry,
apply a second coat.
5. After the flowers have dried, drill a small hole
into the centre of each of them. If you don't have
a drill, you can use a medium-sized nail to
create the holes. Place one of the flowers
between the first knob and the dresser drawer
and screw in. Repeat until each of the knobs
have been replaced.
