What you will need:
Dresser - (any set of drawers where the face of each drawer sits outside the drawer cavity)
Wadding - (I used thin pieces of Dacron)
Staple gun and staples - (I used an electronic staple gun because it was sooo much easier)
Fabric - (of your choice, match your bedding or color scheme, your options are endless)
Tape - (I used black duct tape which matches the drawers and has stayed secure)
Scissors

I started off with a set of Ikea Malm Drawers:

Then some wadding:

• Cut your wadding to the same size as the face of each drawer (it does not need to go around corners, this will be too bulky). You should have 3 rectangular pieces the same size. I only used quite a thin layer.
• Cut your selected fabric larger than the drawer faces (leave enough space to come around the edges on every side, about 5cm). You don’t need to cut any allowance for corners as you just fold these over like sheets on a bed when you attach them. If you cut them, they may fray.
• Don’t stick or glue your wadding to the drawers in any way. It isn’t necessary and may make the wadding bumpy.
• Lay out your rectangle of material on the table, then center a rectangle of wadding on top. Then place the drawer face down on top of the wadding.
• Using your trusty staple gun, bring the edges of the fabric up onto the backside of the drawer and staple in place.

• Fold the fabric over in a hem before stapling to prevent fraying. I used an electronic staple gun, but you can use a manual one too.

The backside of the drawers should look like this:

You can see that my staple work is not that crash hot. This is ok, as long as the fabric is fixed securely, because you will cover it later with secure tape. You can see how I have done my corners too (like sheets on a mattress) they have held really well for the last 2 years.

• Tape over the staples. This makes it look nicer but is also a good safety measure if any staples happen to come loose. Make sure you use a tape that will hold. I had previously used masking tape on another set of drawers and this has peeled off over time. The duct tape I have used on this set seems to have worked a dream.

When the tape is in place it looks like this:

It is really quick and easy too. I did this when I was 8 months pregnant (hey you get creative and industrious at the end of a pregnancy, I think it’s called nesting) and got it done in one night.

I love them, they are so bright and colorful and still the highlight of the room.

Y se muy bien que no estarás.
No estarás en la calle
en el murmullo que brota de la noche
de los postes de alumbrado,
ni en el gesto de elegir el menú,
ni en la sonrisa que alivia los completos en los subtes
ni en los libros prestados,
ni en el hasta mañana.

No estarás en mis sueños,
en el destino original de mis palabras,
ni en una cifra telefónica estarás,
o en el color de un par de guantes
o una blusa.

Me enojaré
amor mío
sin que sea por ti,
y compraré bombones
pero no para ti,
me pararé en la esquina
a la que no vendrás
y diré las cosas que sé decir
y comeré las cosas que sé comer
y soñaré los sueños que se sueñan.
Y se muy bien que no estarás
ni aquí dentro de la cárcel donde te retengo,
ni allí afuera
en ese río de calles y de puentes.

No estarás para nada,
no serás mi recuerdo
y cuando piense en ti
pensaré un pensamiento
que oscuramente trata de acordarse de ti.

-Julio Cortazar
