Supplies Needed For IKEA Moppe Hack

Americana Decor Satin Enamels – I chose Seaside Blue.
Americana Gel Stains – I chose Walnut.
IKEA Moppe
4 Bun Feet
6 Cup Handles
Screws and nuts for handles
Paintbrushes – You can use a medium or large-sized paintbrush for the paint. For the stain on the drawers, you’ll want to make sure you have a smaller paintbrush to take care of the smaller details and edges.
Rag
Wood Glue
Drill – Any kind of drill you have is good for this craft.
Drill Bit – Don’t get started without making sure you have the correct sizes for drill bits!

NOTE: Make sure you have enough paint and stain for this IKEA Moppe as you’ll need more than one layer of paint. Also, make sure all the parts are dry before assembling. Use safety precautions when working with power tools.

TIP: If the screw heads are not the same color as your handles, use DecoArt Dazzling Metallics to paint the heads.

Step 1: Paint IKEA Moppe

First, start by painting the entire outside shell of the IKEA Moppe. I painted the inside just a bit 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: Stain The Drawers

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

Step 3: Attach The Feet

Next, you will also want to stain the bun feet. Be sure to remove any screws that may be in the feet before staining. Attach the feet to the bottom of the outer shell with adhesive once they are dry.

Step 4: Assemble IKEA Moppe

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: Attach The Handles

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

Step 6: Add The Drawers

Finally, just add the drawers into your Moppe. This IKEA hack is ready to help you organize anything at any time!

How To Use IKEA Moppe Hack

This IKEA Moppe hack is great for any home office, kitchen, laundry room, bathroom, bedroom, or any room in your home!

For the kitchen, I like to use it on one of my counters or in my pantry to organize all of my baking supplies such as sprinkles, food coloring, etc.

These storage drawers would also be great for organizing keys, beauty supplies, jewelry, socks, and so much more!
