Instructions:
  1. Remove drawers from boxes. Mark the drawers with numbers so they go back in the right holes. Using pliers, carefully remove knobs and set aside. These will be used as feet later.
  2. Paint boxes white. Paint only areas that will not be paper-covered. Paint knobs/feet lime green.
  3. Measure and cut scrapbook paper to cover the drawers, sides and top. Mix and match on boxes. Glue paper to boxes.
  4. Using the shank remover, carefully cut the shanks off the rose buttons. Using hot glue, attach one pink round button to each drawer front for extra depth and attach roses to buttons.
  5. Cut 5 - 5” lengths of wire. String 3 green beads onto a wire. Weave wire through buttonholes on leaf. Twist wires together on back to secure. Trim excess wire. Repeat for all leaves. Glue in place as shown.
  6. Adhere knobs to the bottom corners of small box as feet. Center small box on top of large box. Glue in place.
  7. Glue remaining roses and leaf to top of small box.
