Fabric _ Wow, what a transformation! The pattern you see on the new dresser is courtesy of lovely fabric. What Sarah did was staple fabric onto the dresser pieces before she assembled the whole thing. Of course, Mod Podge will work here, too. Tutorial_ ## 3. Mirror ![Mirror](https://resize.allw.mn/1028x0/filters:format(webp)/filters:quality(70)/content/diy/2013/03/35_375x294.jpg) Looking for a **dresser makeover idea** in the shiny department? Mirror is your best friend. Making this "new" dresser is actually pretty simple. You have your glass man cut the mirror according to the size of your dresser pieces and then adhere them using nail glue. Easy!

Lace ![Lace](https://resize.allw.mn/1028x0/filters:format(webp)/filters:quality(70)/content/diy/2013/03/45_450x361.jpg) This is all sorts of divine. And the whole process looks easy and fun, too. Using lace as stencil and some spray paint, you can transform a plain dresser into something girly and whimsical. [Tutorial](http://www.recapturedcharm.com/2011/03/lace-dresser.html?) ## 5. Corner Brackets ![Corner Brackets](https://resize.allw.mn/1028x0/filters:format(webp)/filters:quality(70)/content/diy/2013/03/55_505x410.jpg) This** dresser makeover** could not be easier. In fact, you only have to attach the corner brackets to the drawers and you will immediately see the chic factor that they provide. Take note, though, that they will have impact only if your dresser is of a dark color. [Tutorial](https://goo.gl/dpBa3O) ## 6. Paint Marker ![Paint Marker](https://resize.allw.mn/1028x0/filters:format(webp)/filters:quality(70)/content/diy/2013/03/65_460x340.jpg) How pretty! Not only do I love the color, I am also quite enamored with the floral design. You can achieve this type of makeover by painting the pattern but you can utilize a better method: use Krink paint markers. They're like paints but in a Sharpie-like form. They're easy to use and makes furniture re-dos more fun. [Tutorial](https://www.artisbeauty.net/2012/06/dogwood-dresser-makeover-with-krink.html) ## 7. Chevron ![Chevron](https://resize.allw.mn/1028x0/filters:format(webp)/filters:quality(70)/content/diy/2013/03/75-560x278_560x278.jpg) Yes, okay, chevron is probably no longer trendy and chic. I had to include this here, though, because the tutorial has fantastic tips for painting dressers without taking them apart first.

Chain Link ![Chain Link](https://resize.allw.mn/1028x0/filters:format(webp)/filters:quality(70)/content/diy/2013/03/83_460x340.jpg) The raised detailing on this dresser look beautiful. Can you believe that they are only wreath forms made of composite wood? What Michelle did was glue the wreath forms onto the dresser, add wood pieces to connect them, and then paint over everything. [Tutorial](http://sweetsomethingdesign.blogspot.com/2011/08/chain-link-dresser.html) ## 9. Reverse Stencil _ This particular **DIY dresser makeover** is a bit time-consuming but it looks positively fun to do. This was done by applying decal onto the front of a dresser, painting over the whole thing, and then removing the decal after to reveal the wood grain. Using smaller decals for this method is advisable if you're not up for a design as ambitious as the one above. Tutorial_ ## 10. Dorothy Draper-Inspired ![Dorothy Draper-Inspired](https://resize.allw.mn/1028x0/filters:format(webp)/filters:quality(70)/content/diy/2013/03/103_550x425.jpg) This dresser design is pretty popular.
