Miniature Nightstand Assembly Step 7...

For this last step, lay the nightstand, back side down, over a piece of card stock or shirt cardboard and trace the outline of the nightstand onto the card stock. You can cut the bottom of this sheet to match up to the bottom of the nightstand or all the way down to the floor. I chose to the bottom not the floor.

Cut the card stock on the traced lines using your razor knife and a straight edge. Cut through the card stock with one clean cutting stroke for best results.

A little white or tacky glue around the edges of the nightstand and press the back on. Remember to shy the glue to the inside edges so it doesn't extrude itself all over the outside of the nightstand.

Miniature Nightstand Assembly Step 8...

Well our little miniature nightstand of drawers is now complete except for the handles. For my sample I made my own miniature handles. The pattern I used is on the cut sheet.

For detailed instructions on how I make these, and other, handles from card stock refer to my miniature handles page.(Coming soon)

The basics steps are:

• Cut out the design
• Form the curved shape
• Apply a coat of paint
• Let dry
• Reshape if needed
• Apply a second coat of paint
• Glue to the furniture piece

Once the entire piece is complete, spray the finishing coating on the entire unit as I've described in my Finishing Miniature Furniture page located in the How To Basics pages.
