    Default Yet another plea for help... LOL

    OK... I have inherited 3 of those plastic things with drawers, like a dresser but plastic. You know what I mean?
    Anyways... they aren't very appealing to the eye. They are white... 2 have see-through drawers and the other has white drawers.
    Anyone have ideas as to how I can make them pretty?

    Since they are plastic, hot glue would work well. You could cover them with a favorite fabric print, or put pictures all over them. Ribbons or stickers.
    Or......... you can hide them in a closet and use them for socks or a collection of cleaning rags.
    Good Luck!!

    They are my only dressers, so they are holding our clothes.... and we have no closets to hide them in. LOL
    I like the fabric idea... I hadn't thought of using hot glue.
    Hmm.... now the gears are going in my head!

    Thanks so much Melissa.

    Melissa is on to something, just cover with white glue and put fabric on and smooth out...... Use a floral or something with a picture you could cut out and glue to the front of the drawers..... for cutouts: Cut that fabric larger around than the picture, spread white glue and leave flat to dry on wax paper.... Peel off and cut, the dry glue will keep it from unraveling.....

    Could do just a fabric "skirt". Held with either velcro, elastic, or a drawstring. Keeping an opening that can stay in the front for ease of use or could be twisted to the back.

    Love the velcro idea, that's what I did for a bedskirt for my Tyler, since he would step or pull on a regular one I velcro to the bedframe itself and it doesn't budge.
