Easy furniture makeover to create the look of woven raffia or grasscloth

If you like the fresh look of woven or cane fronts on furniture you will like this very budget-friendly furniture makeover. It is easy and doesn’t require any paint or power tools. The best part is it can cost as little as $10 and be completed in an hour or two.


This furniture makeover all started when I simply wanted to cover the yellowing/darkening clock motif lining I added years ago to the white wood tray that is on my nightstand.

I was going to make this post an Insta-Style post about the makeover of the tray only, but you know how it is when one idea blossoms into another.

My nightstand – BEFORE

I realized what I had planned to do to the tray, I could also do on the drawer fronts of the small chest of drawers I call my nightstand. It is still a fast and easy furniture makeover, but no longer instant.

The Woven Front Furniture Trend

When decorating, trends can make our homes look refreshed. They are exciting and new. We all like that. But the downside of trends is that they go out of style as fast as they came in.

When I add a decorating trend, I like to find ways to add the trend to my decor in a small way. This is what I did with my nightstand.

I mentioned yesterday that I am not a fan of reeded wood furniture, but I do like furniture that is wrapped or fronted with woven materials using wicker, caning, raffia, jute, rattan, or rush.

These durable fibers are being used on everything from bed frames, dressers, consoles, chairs to smaller decorative items.

I especially like the look of woven raffia on furniture like this chic nightstand above (Serena & Lily – $998.00). It is an example of the wrapped raffia technique. The frame has been covered with woven raffia by hand and then coated with a clear lacquer.

What I don’t like about this nightstand is the price tag. With a little determination, I found a way to get the high-end look for a whole lot less.

What I Used to Create DIY Woven Front Dresser Drawers for Less

What makes the makeover of my nightstand so easy to do is making use of inexpensive, ready-made woven table placemats that you can buy online or at HomeGoods, TJ Maxx and Marshalls.

Close up of a blue and tan woven place mats

This style of woven vinyl placemats come in a variety of colors and cost about $10 for a set of 6. Their sizes can vary, but most are around 13″ x 19″. They are made of vinyl, making them easy to wipe clean.

This easy DIY woven front furniture makeover works well on nightstands or on pieces of furniture that are smaller in scale as the size of a woven placemat will fit the width or height needed to cover a drawer front, tray or table top.

For larger pieces of furniture, the placemats will work when covering dresser drawers that have a smaller recessed area on the center of each drawer front. The placemat size may fit these recessed areas on some styles of dresser or cabinet drawers.

If you have a larger piece of furniture and really like the woven raffia front or wrapped look, consider using one of these two options that come in wider widths:

  • Peel & Stick Grasscloth Wallpaper
  • Raffia Cloth by the yard

My nightstand – AFTER

This small chest of drawers was a hand-me-down from Ed’s grandparents. It is a handmade piece with some quirks. It has also had a few layers of paint in its past, but I have always loved it. When I found the tray fit perfectly on top a few years ago, the two pieces now look like one.

Total Cost of Makeover: $10.00

I didn’t have to paint my nightstand, but if you have a piece of furniture that needs painting. Let the paint dry a few days before adding the woven placemats to ensure they will adhere.

supplies needed:

  • Woven vinyl placemats – see color resources at the end of the post
  • Spray adhesive
  • Scissors
  • Craft knife

Time needed: 2 hours.

Budget Furniture Makeover: How to Add Woven Fronts to Dresser Drawers Using Woven Table Placemats

  1. Measure Drawer Fronts


    Remove each drawer and measure the width and height of each.

    Use large scissors to cut a piece of the placemat that is slightly larger than the measurements. You want to have a little excess to make sure you get a perfect fit. Once the placemat is fitted on the drawer front, you can cut any excess away.

    Cutting placemat to size of drawer front

  2. Apply Spray Adhesive


    Go outside and spray the front of the drawer with an even coat of spray adhesive making sure to get the edges and corners. Do the same on one side of the cut piece of the placemat.

    IMPORTANT: For the best bond, make sure to spray both the surface of the drawer as well as the mat. When both surfaces have adhesive on them creates a very solid bond that will last.

    TIP: Use a large piece of cardboard to cover the inside of the drawer when spraying. This will keep adhesive overspray from getting into the drawer.

  3. Add Placemat

    Line up the placemat on the drawer front adhesive side down. Make sure the weave is running straight and even with the top of the drawer and is covering the sides. Then run your hand firmly over the placemat to make sure every part of it is sticking to the front of the drawer.

  4. Trim Excess

    Using a craft knife, lay the drawer face down on a cutting surface. Working from the under side of the drawer, tilt the drawer a little towards you and then run the blade of the knife right against the edge of the drawer to remove the excess placemat. Repeat for the other edge.

    Repeat this process for each drawer.

    Let the adhesive dry before placing the drawers back into the dresser.

    If you find a corner or edge of a placemat is not sticking to a drawer, apply some fast tack glue on a small paint brush and run it under the area to get the glue under the placemat. Then press the area with your hand to ensure adhesion.

  5. Attach Knobs or Pulls


    Use an awl from the inside of the drawer and poke through to the front of the drawer so you can see where the hole is for each knob.

    Place the tip of the awl into this hole on the face side of the drawer and wiggle it around to make the hole big enough to fit the knob screw.

    Place knobs on and secure.

  6. Optional Steps


    I placed the original knobs back on to my nightstand, but before I did I wanted to remove the rust color on the screw heads to expose the chrome color underneath.

    To do this I used a wire brush on my Dremel Multi-Use Tool. It is my favorite tool and does so many things that make DIY’ing possible. :-)

    Lay the placemat into the tray. Fold excess and mark with pencil.

  8. Cut Placemat

    Perfect timing! I have an old swatch cart from that company and was going to see if they were still around as I plan to do something similar to my nightstand doors and top. I have a PB seagrass headboard and my folks 1965 walnut dressers and night stands. The mirror has a recessed motif I don’t like so I cut apart an old seagrass purse and used that to fill the recessed area! It really ties in with the seagrass headboard. Your project came out beautifully!!

      Hi Janette – When the nightstand became mine when Ed’s parents gave Ed and I all his grandparents furniture. It was painted a very pale turquoise with a white wash over it. The bottom was rotting and my dad redid the entire bottom with new wood and added the scroll. He painted it white for me and that is how it has been for years. It is the little chest of drawers that has had many lives. :-)

    That looks great! I love your style. We have Big Lots stores in our area, and they have similar place mats and matching table runners. I used a couple of runners to cover geometric patterned window valances in our camper. I cut the table runners into strips and stapled them over the existing fabric. It’s was an easy fix and a much simpler look than the busy fabric. I had planned to add a simple molding to cover the staples, but the staples pretty much disappeared, so I left as is.

      Hi Kay – What a great idea to us the runners to cover the busy valances. Love hearing about creative ideas like this and how easy it was to do. I will have to keep my eyes out for a runner to use on a larger dresser. When I lived in PA, I had a Big Lots close by that I checked out from time to time. I always found something at a bargain price.

    This is also a great option for furniture that has deep scratches or smaller gouges to wood or laminate. This could rescue furniture that is otherwise in good shape from being tossed. I can’t help but notice what looks like beautiful blue grasscloth on the walls? Have you ever seen any diy projects using grasscloth? Thanks for sharing.

      Hi Michelle – Excellent idea on using the place mats as a way to cover damage on furniture to make it look new with little work. It would work beautifully. The blue wallpaper on my bedroom walls is faux grasscloth. It is smooth to the touch, but even from close up. It looks real. You can see the post I wrote about it here: https://bit.ly/3cIsRTz

      I haven’t done any projects with grasscloth, but I love it. Have you ever done a Google or Pinterest search for “DIY projects using grasscloth”? I am sure there must be quite a few.

I think most people forget they have one or are not quite sure how to add the bits and what each one does. My favorite bit is the Diamond cutting wheel. It cuts through anything even metal. Stay-tuned.

    This is bonkers! I, too, have been drooling over grass cloth and cane furniture – I love the island look – and I cannot get over how expensive it is! You hacked it for 10 dollars!!?!?!??!? I can’t believe that you used placemats!!!! I would never have thought of this and it’s so brilliant because they are cheap and they are everywhere. Plus, they’re vinyl, so they’ll stand up to fingerprints. I haven’t used spray adhesive for anything but paper; I’d be curious to see how the placemats hold to the wood over time.

      Hi Jen – Thanks :-) As far as spray glue goes, it can adhere many things to many different surfaces. The key to getting a lasting bond, is to spray both the surface on both items, let sit for a few seconds and then place together.

    I started following your blog about when you were in the “clock face phase” and you originally redid this tray. Looks great all refreshed.

      Hi Mary – Thanks and double thanks for being a long time reader. I created the tray when I was a blogger writing for True Value Hardware. The tutorial is still on their blog. If they ever take it down, I will put it on my site. :-)

    I think this is my favorite makeover that you’ve done. I’m sitting here looking around for a piece of furniture I can try this on! Perfect match of color to the woven materials.

      Thanks Margo – When DIYing I can never be sure if the project will come out like my vision. For this makeover it did – which of course made me smile with delight to have been able to do it so quickly and inexpensively.

    Hi Diane,
    I love this makeover and now I finally have an idea for my husband’s old dresser! In the meantime, I have been decoupaging old lamps with birchbark with great results lol.

    Diane, to be honest, I am like Sharon; I didn’t think this was going to look good. However! It gives an entirely new look to the chest. I am pinning so when I have a chest to makeover for my booth, I will try and see if I can copy you! Thanks for the inspiration:)

      Hi Cecilia – I hope you can find just the right chest soon. :-) The woven texture will really make it unique.

    Oh, Diane. I just knew I probably wasn’t going to like this. LOL, but I LoVe the way it turned out!!! So pretty and fresh looking and very gender-neutral. As a rule, I’m just not crazy about this type of drawer fronts or inserts, etc, especially when it’s a high contrast color combo like white base and walnut fronts. But this one is quite nice, easy on the senses and complements the room as opposed to screaming for attention. Good job….very good job! Thanks for sharing.

      Hi Sharon – Thanks :-) The idea for this came on a whim. Sometimes these ideas/projects come out better than ones that are planned and every detail thought out.
