Appliques and wood decorations are a fun and clever way to add ornate design to a furniture or cabinet project. Wood
appliques can usually just be glued into place. When you start thinking outside of the box you will
need something stronger to mount cast iron ornaments like
on this blue dresser
 |
| (#2) You can cut wood appliques to get different looks |
 |
 |
| (#3) These drawers were embellished with plastic appliques made from garden fencing |
 |
| (#4) These drawers were given a sweet decoration in the middle also from plastic garden fencing |
 |
| (#5) Antique door decorations look quite different depending how they are finished |
 |
| (#6) Pair them with an oversized knob for a dramatic look. |
 |
| (#7) Metal decorations need to be attached with screws like this cast iron embellishment |
 |
| (#8) These metal cast iron pieces along side the mirror were attached with screws |
 |
| (#9) I've re-purposed these ornate bits from other garbage furniture |

| (#10) When you have left and right appliques, turn them to see all the different possibilities |
 |
| (#11) Check if that picture frame will work as an applique on your next project |
 |
| (#12) Headboards are a great place to add appliques to define your style |
 |
| (#13) Another headboard decorated with a large wall decoration. |
 |
| (#14) These double urns were perfect cover ups for some old holes in the wood |
 |
| (#15) Again these corner appliques hide holes in the wood |
 |
| (#16) Use an applique to embellish a glass door by sticking it on with double sided tape |
 |
| (#17) Make custom appliques with bake-able polymer clay like these one-of-a-kind key hole escutcheons |
 |
| (#18) The embellishments above and below the mirror are from a plastic spoon rake |
 |
| (#19) Appliques make a romantic statement on the bottom edge of furniture |
 |
| (#20) Customize by cutting out the wood to the shape of the decorations |
I've used appliques to hide old screw
holes or damage to wood. Appliques can
change the shape of furniture and even
change the era it may seem to belong to.
