Initial works

Next, we paint the drawers white, and then dry them and screw on new ball-shaped handles.
Accessories for cabinet
Afterwards, cut out different flowers from napkinsshapes, as well as different colors. Afterwards, we decorate the surface of the cabinet, first inserting each piece. You also need to glue the flowers asymmetrically using PVA glue, and cover the top of the cabinet with colorless varnish. Next, we use leftovers and flower clippings to recreate a beautiful decoupage style composition. Next, you need to turn ordinary cans into beautiful flower pots. They also need to be painted white, then dried and after that, glue the flowers. Then, the surface needs to be varnished and after – put. Next, we process the photo frame using white acrylic paint. When the paint dries, take the applications and glue them around the entire perimeter of the product, and then also varnish the surface. The frame must be equipped with a picture or an applique of flowers.
