Paint techniques video

Watch me turn a cheap $1 dresser from the Dollar Tree into a beautiful piece of furniture with decoupage paper drawers. I used simple painting techniques to complete the transformation.

I really love how this turned out. I will definitely be doing more Dollar Tree furniture flips.

I have been toiling away learning how to film and edit videos for YouTube. I have lots of projects planned ranging from abandoned miniatures, furniture makeovers, accessories, kits and Dollhouse Miniatures in multiple scales. I also have a large Harry Potter build planned for 1" scale.

So impressed watching you layer paint. Just when I think you're done, you add more paint! Looks aged and very real!

Whenever I decoupage - apply paper with Mod Podge - I use a technique of pre relaxing the paper. Which simply means I get it wet. I've done this on large pieces of furniture and it works beautifully. So for paper as thin as what you used and on something that small, I would just spray the paper front and back with water and dab off excess moisture with a paper towel. Then apply the Mod Podge as you normally would. Now the paper and the Mod Podge dry at the same rate. And if I am decoupaging a large area, I pre cut the paper to the size I need. Soak the paper in a sink or tub filled with a few inches of water. When you put the paper in the water it will start to curl up. Leave the paper in the water a little longer until it relaxes, uncurls and lays flat again. Dab it off front and back on a towel and apply with Mod Pidge as you normally would. Trust the process, everything will dry flat. The paper stretches a bit when its wet, so if I need to trim it back to an edge I use a sanding block. Just make sure its completely dry before you try to sand it.

I have only been watching you for two day and I am so impressed with you talent. I had AN OLD DOLHOUSE GIFTED TO ME SO SOME OF YOUR PROJECTS WILL SERVE AS INSPIRATION in renovating it, I am a jack of all trades and sewing is one of them. I herd you say that sewing is not your thing, If there is anything I can do to help, please ask.

This is fantastic! I made your dresser turned apothecary cabinet a while back when the video came out, and I think this will be my next dollar tree makeover. Thank you for sharing your creativity!

I have a 3D printer and I've only used it once..I don't know why I don't use it more, but when I saw those adorable drawer pulls, I thought, "OK WHITNEY! Get to it!" Well done my friend!

I just bought a couple of those same dressers . I love the way your dresser came out, so pretty. I wish I could make those same knobs. But I’ll be using tiny beads. Thank you for the helpful tutorial. Have a great day 🌻

You sound so much like Winona Ryder when she starred in Beetlejuice.
