How to Build Wall Cubbies

Using a 2-inch brush, coat the top, bottom, and sides of the cubby with a clear acrylic coating (for a wood finish) or latex paint (for a colored finish). Let it dry, sand it lightly, then apply a second coat. To add a colorful touch, use a small brush and acrylic artist’s paint to match the front edge of the box to the fabric that will decorate the inside panel. Let it dry completely.
