How to Stripe a Dresser

Step 1

Unscrew the old hardware and patch the holes with wood filler.

Step 2

Paint the left and right sides of the dresser each a different color. Let dry.

Step 3

Starting 2 inches from the dresser’s left edge, use delicate-surface painter’s tape to tape off every other stripe so they’re varying widths. Your last stripe should be 2 inches from the dresser’s right edge. Using a brush, paint each stripe, repeating colors every so often. Peel off the tape while the paint is slightly wet. Let dry overnight.

Step 4

Tape off the remaining stripes and paint them following the directions above. Paint the 2 inches on the far left the same color as the dresser’s left side and the 2 inches on the far right the same color as the dresser’s right side. Let dry.

Step 5

Drill holes in the drawers for the new pulls, and screw them in.
