BOUDOIR CORSET DRESSER
I started applying a graphic to an antique tall boy dresser last week.
After many hours of the smell of sharpie markers I have finished.
NOTE:
this project is for an advance DIYer

The graphic was found at the OLD DESIGN SHOP:
http://olddesignshop.com/2012/07/free-digital-image-flexibone-moulded-victorian-corset-ad/
and I used a box of a dozen sharpie markers to fill in the image.


Graphic transfer methods can be found here
Read through the list of 12 options to find the method that will work best for you and your project.
Here is a peak at what the dresser looked like before I painted it white.

I ended up printing this image on 8 sheets of landscape paper, 2 across and 4 down.
Try using http://www.blockposters.com/ to cut your image up, I definitely recommend it.
Here is a close up showing what it looks like after waxing and sanding the image.
** WAX BEFORE SANDING **
