Step 1

Paint the dresser with Hunter Green paint. Leave the front of the drawers white. Let dry.

Step 2

Remove the knobs from the drawers. Detach the drawer fronts from the dresser. Nail the drawer fronts onto a strip of scrap wood. When you pour on the drawers, this will make it look like one cohesive marbled pattern.

Step 3

Mix one part Hunter Green paint to two parts Pouring Medium in a cup, then stir with a wood craft stick. Repeat this step with your remaining colours.

Step 4

Protect your work space with a drop cloth. Pour your paint and medium mixture onto your drawer fronts. Swirl until you reach your desired look. Let dry overnight.

Step 5

Carefully score each individual drawer with an X-ACTO® knife. Remove nails and separate drawer fronts from the scrap wood.

Step 6

Re-attach your drawer fronts to your drawers. Re-attach knobs.
