Mix ½ cup of Selleys® Sugar Soap into ½ bucket (5 litres) of water. Use a soft cloth to clean the table from top to bottom with the sugar soap solution.

2. Smooth the Surface

Sand the table down and clean it again with Selleys® Sugar Soap to remove any dust. 

3. Prepare the Wallpaper

Measure and cut the wallpaper a bit oversized (2-3cm) to the front of the drawers leaving precut holes where the handles will go. 

4. Apply the Wallpaper

Apply Selleys® Kwik Grip® Vertical both to the wallpaper and the front of the drawer and spread evenly. Keep surfaces apart until adhesive is almost dry – approximately 20 minutes. Then press surfaces firmly together. Secure bond by running a roller over the wallpaper. Wait 24 hours before using the bedside table.

5. Line the Drawers

Use the leftover wallpaper to line the drawers. Measure the inside of the drawers and cut to size. This time apply Selleys® Kwik Grip® Horizontal to both the inside of the drawer, and the wallpaper. Keep surfaces apart until adhesive is almost dry – approximately 20 minutes. Then work from one edge to press surfaces firmly together. Secure bond by running a roller over the wallpaper. Wait 24 hours before using the bedside table.

6. Add Handles

Add handles to the front of the bedside table and glue, with Selleys® Araldite® 5 Minute onto the into the precut holes of the wallpaper. Dispense equal parts of both liquids onto a clean disposable surface (e.g. a disposable plastic plate) and mix both parts together thoroughly. Apply mixed glue to the drawer and the handle, then bring together. If you need a stronger bond, use a clamp. Leave for 16 hours before using. 

Paint it in the colour of your choice using Dulux® Wash&Wear® avoiding the areas where the vinyl is.

Lie in bed and admire your new bedside table!
