Directions for Shadow Box Drawer

  1. The first thing you’re going to want to do saw off the overhang on the drawer so it can lay flat onto the wall.
  2. The bottom part of the drawer is the part that will be laid up against the wall. Therefore, you we’re going to give it a nice backdrop
  3. Cut gift wrap or any type of nice paper you prefer to the size of your backdrop
  4. Once cut, use spray adhesive & attach it to the back
  5. Attach a french cleat to the wall & back of drawer
  6. Last but not least, hang it up!

DIrections for Drawer Shelf

  1. First, you’re going to want to shorten your drawer, so it doesn’t stick out too far from the wall
  2. Measure 6 inches from the front (or however deep you prefer your shelf to be)
  3. Mark the 6 inches all around the drawer
  4. Take a jigsaw & cut along the line
  5. Put a little wood glue on the back
