You will need…

A roll of d-c-fix® Missouri Walnut
A roll of plain Uni matt d-c-fix®, white
d-c-fix® tool kit with scraper and cutting knife
Pencil
Scissors
Measuring tape

Let’s go

Step 1

First, get your tape measure out and check the dimensions of the sides of the dog bed and make a note of them.

Step 2

Then cut the required adhesive foil pieces leaving a little extra for the edges on all sides. The excess will help you to glue the edges neatly.

Step 3

Now remove just a bit of the backing paper and apply the adhesive foil to the first wooden side of the dog bed. Then, smooth down the adhesive film over the entire wood surface thoroughly, using the scraper.

Step 4

You can smooth down the excess film around the edges or remove it with the cutter. Make sure you smooth down the foil along the edges extra firmly with the scraper.

Step 5

Now cover all the panels of the dog bed with the adhesive foil, one by one, to give it a modern wood look.

Step 6

Now it’s time for a Deco-finish: cut out the shape of a bone from the white adhesive film and use it to create a charming highlight on the front of the dog bed – or you could even use several of them, with or without lettering. Let your creativity run wild!

You’re done!
