Don't be afraid to be creative. In this issues' project, I used old sheet music and layout paper. To make it suit my needs a little more, I stained it with tea , then dried it in the oven, to give it that old parchment look. I then used regular layout paper, which I painted using acrylic paint. However, the possibilities are limitless .
Paper has many different finishes and qualities, from shiny to matte, textured to smooth.
You really can't go wrong. It all depends upon what you want. Another great thing is all of the materials are inexpensive. That sure beats buying a new chest of draws. First you will need to prepare the surface of the chest.
