Authentique Mister Desk Organizer Button Farm Kit for Dad

Hello, Friends! I’m super excited about my May Kit Club over on the Button Farm Club. With Father’s Day right around the corner, we took our crafting off the page and created an amazing Authentique Mister Desk Organizer for Dad!

These stacking drawers measure 16″ high (taller if you could the height of the easel topper). Each chipboard drawer is neatly housed in the wooden frame. Isn’t it handsome?

This easy to assemble 4” x 16” x 4 ¼” unit boasts a sturdy wood frame designed to fit with any home decor.

Four 3 ½” x 4” x 3 ½” drawers constructed from heavy weight chipboard are handsomely decorated with Authentique Paper’s Mister collection.

The The full color, step by step tutorial is loaded with clever techniques that you will be able to use in all your crafty adventures. You will learn how to:

Build the drawer unit
Create a faux woodgrain finish
Use packaging to build an easel style photo display unit on the top of the drawer
Use product packaging to construct from scratch a 3.25” x 3.25” x 1 ½” hardcover mini album to tuck into one of the drawers

Each pocket style page holds two 3″ photo mats for family photos. This album is the perfect size for Dad to keep on his desk, and it’s loaded with fun, interactive features.
