Moppe got his stripes with infusible ink transfer sheets

This wooden thing — the MOPPE mini chest of drawers — had been sitting in my craft room for years begging for a makeover. But I didn’t want to paint it because of the possibility of the drawers getting harder to pull out.

I used infusible ink transfer sheets instead. All in all, an easy makeover for the MOPPE.

Watch it and if there are signs of smoke, remove right away.

After 60 sec carefully remove press and let the design cool. Don’t move anything.

After it has cooled. Remove the sheet and behold your transfer!

How long and how much did it cost?

It took me 45 min from start to finish. I bought the infusible ink transfer sheets for 14 euro. The other stuff I already had at home as mad crafter. 

What do you like most about the hack?

Now this piece looks like me! It’s not bland. It’s fun and invites to conversation and usage.

What was the hardest part about this hack?

Figuring out if the wood would catch fire. The was a bit of research involved.

What to pay special attention to?

Not shifting the design as it will leave shadows.

Looking back, would you have done it differently?

Using more tape to secure the design. There are many different designs of the sheets to choose from so you can really make this your own.

Hackers Help: How to remake cam lock holes?

I want to put a 78.5” wide PAX configuration in a 77” space for a kids room . My plan is to eliminate the drawer on the right unit, then cut the shelves and rails to be 1.5” narrower. My question is, how do people attach two laminated pressboard IKEA pieces after they’ve cut off the cam lock holes? Related: See more Hackers Help questions and answers . Are they using drills bits and/or tiny hole saws to remake the cam lock holes? Or screws drilled in from the outside with wood glue? The outside pieces won’t be visible in my completed setup so I could go either way. I’m curious what other people are doing, either I haven’t seen this detail in past hacks or I haven’t been paying attention. ~ by Jenny *** Hi Jenny The best and tidiest method is to use the cut-off portion as a template to reproduce the same cam lock holes in the correct positions. The right sized drill bits and a  Forstner bit should do the trick. A Forstner bit will drill a flat-bottomed hole (...
