“Eileen Hull’s Top-Drawer Challenge”

This month, the Eileen Hull Design Team was challenged to make

something using the Sizzix Stacking Drawers Die designed by Eileen*.

I LOVE MAKING MINIATURES!  

So, true to my “miniature-loving” self, I made a Mini Chest of Drawers

for the Little Essentials that I have sitting on my desk.

To make the Mini Chest of Drawers…

• Die-cut the boxes using the Stacking Drawer Die*, Sizzix Mat Board*, and the Sizzix Big Shot Die Cutting Machine*.  (FYI…you will need a Sizzix Extender Plate* with this die.)

• I painted the Mat Board* and small wood cubes with Apple Barrel Black Multi-Surface Acrylic Paint* before I assembled the box.
• Fold the matboard and adhere to the ends of the die-cut using Scor-Tape*.
• FYI…Place the drawer bottom inside drawer so that the drawer slides more easily.  (You can also rub a piece of clear wax on the bottom of the drawer.)
• Adhere the two boxes together.
• Retouch the paint if necessary.

• I measured and cut side and top pieces for my dresser using Mat Board*.
• I painted the Mat Board* black and cut smaller pieces of woodgrain scrapbook paper to adhere to the Mat Board*.

• One trick I like to use is to color the edge of the paper with a dark gray marker to hide the white core of the paper.
• Cut the back off the decorative brads and glue them to the front of the drawers.

• I cut an extra layer of mat board for the top of the dresser for added dimension.

If you have a little girl in your life,

the mini dresser would be great for little barrettes or even Barbie shoes.
