In reply to Deb Pierce. Admittedly paper towels . If I were to do it over again I think I would test some kind of putty/spackle to see if it would work

What did you use to fill where the handles were to make it flat?

In reply to Jane S. Stewart. Hi Jane! There is a picture of the side profile (it is zoomed in, it's the 2nd photo under the section "mistake #2: Vinyl contact paper") Because the vinyl planks are thicker (compared to the contact paper), there is not much wiggle room to wrap it beyond the drawer. I stuck mine right on top of the contact paper because I didn't see a need to remove it, although you do not need to add contact paper to your project. Depending on the filing cabinet your working with, if the drawers sit a little inward, you won't even notice the planks when the drawers are shut because at that point it would be flush with the frame of the cabinet. You will however notice the edges once you open the drawers. Might not be for everyone so do what you think is best! Hope this helps :)

What did you do about the raw edges on the sides, top, bottom, of the vinyl wood planks on each of the drawer fronts? Can we see those, please?

Ok this was so helpful! We have the same coffee maker and I have never thought to clean it.. I know don’t judge me! We had our carpet cleaners come over yesterday morning and I was busy just taking the coffee maker apart and cleaning it and they asked me what I was doing! haha They had never thought to clean theirs either. Thanks for the help and info, looks like more of us need to do this more frequently/just know to do it in general!

In reply to Trisha Wall. Thanks Trisha! Hope this method works! Be sure to work quickly because the beeswax does dry quickly :) And who can say no to a simmer pot gift right?!?

Very nice blog. I found you on YouTube. I’ll be making some beeswax wraps. I’ve made them before but they didn’t work. I’m going to try your method. I love the simmer pot jars idea for gifts.

I love this idea, Katie. We’ve collected so many pallets over the years and I’ve never managed to get the whole 45-degree angle cuts right. They always come out wonky. This is much easier.
