Straight lines are easier than curves. I copied this 8-pointed star shape from a quilt that hangs in my den. (It's a good idea to repeat a motif found elsewhere in the same room.)<br /><br />Make a simple template by cutting your shape from a manilla folder.<br /><br />Next, position your template on your unfinished wood furniture and trace around it with a pencil. I chose to repeat my star pattern three times at each end of my toy-chest-turning-coffee-table.<br /><br />After you pencil the pattern on the furniture, discard the template. Using and ordinary black ink pen (I used a Uniball brand pen) and a straight edge, trace over the patterns you've sketched. That's right, this step calls for you to write on the furniture in pen. There's no turning back now!<br /><br />If you want, you can also "age" your piece by stippling the edges with the pen. I drew dots of various sizes around the border of the lid of my toy chest.<div style="clear:both; padding-bottom:0.25em"></div> </div> </div> <p class="post-footer"> <em>at <a
