All Crafts Challenge Inspiration 'A Practical Handyman' DIY altered drawer set

Hey everyone, hope you are well!

I am here with a special gift I made :-) Its for a man who is really into DIY and practical crafts. I couldnt think what to make him then an idea popped into my head-a vintage style storage for the bits and pieces that come with that sort of hobby!

I found a battered old hardback book called 'The Practical Handyman' which was published in 1930. The book was in a really sorry state so I thought it deserved a new lease of life!

I cut the pages from the book with my craft knife, set them aside and threw away the spine. 

I then cut out the most interesting parts of the book and inked with Tim Holtz Distress inks for an even more aged look.

I then decoupaged these onto the unit for the drawers using mod podge. I made sure they got covered well and varnished a few coats once dry also using mod podge.

I left the drawers plain wood as a design feature.

I then used a thin coat of vaseline inside the unit and alongside the drawers to stop them sticking.

Thank you for looking and for all your lovely comments!
