    Is fabric harder to use than paper? Beautiful job! Lynn

    I love the metallic luster. Where did you end up using that and how? I agree, fabric is easier to apply because it's more forgiving than paper that can fall apart if you use too much Decopauge or too much paint...again, another great project you did! Very talented for sure. Your tutorials are excellent

    Did you use a sealer of any type to make the night stand water-proof???

    Love it! I have so much old furniture in the basement that my kids are after me to throw out I have to try one of these! And a bit of a hint: if you use freezer paper for your pattern you can simply iron it to the fabric to cut out!!

      Someone just told me that about wax paper and they just blew my mind! I love this page. I'll definitely try the freezer paper!

    Great project for my daughter's dorm room! What's freezer paper?
