Add A Graphic To Furniture The Easy Way

I want to show you How To Add A Graphic To Furniture The EASY Way.
I decided to start with a little cupboard that was a gift.

add a graphic to furniture the easy way, crafts, painted furniture

When I first received it, it had a sweet angel panted on it. BUT, it wasn’t my style.

So, I spray painted it red. It looked amazing in our home when I had all red accents. But, alas, my style changed once again. (I have been known to do that often)

Then I needed to find the words. I found what I wanted from The Graphics Fairy. I thought this would look cute on my little cupboard.

I printed it off backwards which is an option on her site on my ink jet printer.

Using the flat end of a pen, I began rubbing the print onto the cupboard. I lifted it up to see if it was working. Guess what? It worked!

After it set for a little, I used a coat of polyurethane to seal it on my cupboard door.
