“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.
crank the handle to run the paper through the machine. As it moves through the Xyron Creative Station it adds adhesive to the back side of the paper.
and run the die through the machine. The Big Shot will cut and score the mat board.
