DIY Ikea Moppe Hack

Step 1

Start by painting the entire outside shell of the Ikea Moppe. I painted inside some as well for a more finished look. This may take 2 coats so be sure to let the first coat dry before adding the second.

Step 2

While that is drying, you can stain your drawers. Apply the stain to all surfaces, allow to sit a few minutes, then wipe away any excess with a rag. Allow these pieces to dry completely before continuing.

Step 3

You will also want to stain the bun feet. Remove any screws that may be in your feet before staining. Attach the feet to the bottom of the outer shell with adhesive once they are dry.

Step 4

Once everything is dry, you can work on assembly. Start by adding a handle to each drawer. I actually turned the drawers around backward so the back without the cutout is now the front. Use the handles to mark for holes and drill those out with a drill bit.

Step 5

Then use screws and nuts to attach your handles to your piece.

Step 6

Then just add the drawers into your Moppe.
