Drawer Fronts: Decorating With Tape


If you remember I decorated my mantel with frog tape + rub-n-buff.  We used frog tape to make a large lattice design, much like my mantel, then went over the tape with gold rub-n-buff. I was inspired by my idea to decorate with tape and by the ladies who make design cut outs that you can decorate your drawers with over at O'verlays.


I wouldn't use it on a dresser that is going to have heavy use. But using this technique on a "dummy" drawer would be perfect. I think as long as you have handles it should be fine on a dresser with moderate use, but I would prefer something more permanent at that point.

I'm not sure who originally came up with the design of the 3rd drawer down.   I believe it's possibly the lovely ladies who make O'verlays.  If you want something permanent for your dresser drawers I would definitely go with them. I know I may purchase some when I decide how I want to update my dresser.

Not sure why I have the wonkiest commenting system on Blogger, but if any of you needed me to get back to you about something, you can re-post here now that I have gotten rid of intense debates. Perhaps the change back to blogger caused me to lose the comments. Sorry!

Mantel Change Up: Decorating with Tape

Lately, I've felt like a mad decorator scientist with my rub-n-buff, gold leaf pen, and tape.  I temporarily changed up our mantel using frog tape and gold rub-n-buff to make a design on the wall. Since gold leafing our dresser and successfully using the frog tape that was gilded in the process, to faux gild the edges of the dresser(I did the dresser months ago and the tape has not budged!), it has come to mind that I could probably decorate with tape just about anywhere.




This mantel is far from done, but I was working to get something up on the blog and working with what I already had available, without purchasing anything. I would love to have finished it.  I have more tape projects coming up so don't forget to follow if you don't already so you can see my newest projects!
