Turn a simple cabinet into a display case by lining it with delicate silver tea paper. You'll need approximately 200 sheets of the paper (available at art-supply stores), a glue stick or white craft glue, and felt.

1. Remove the back of the cabinet before beginning. If the wood has been painted with glossy or oil-based paint, sand it first so the glue will adhere to the surface. The color of the cabinet underneath could affect the result, so paint the cabinet white before applying the tea paper.

2. Cut out the silver squares from their white borders. Apply glue to the back of each square, then glue the squares to the cabinet, overlapping them slightly. Cover the back panel, the inside of the drawer, and the tops, bottoms, and lips of the shelves. The packets of papers vary in shades of silver and should give a slightly patchy effect.

3. After finishing each square, gently rub the paper with felt to smooth the surface without scratching it. Be careful your hands do not get glue on them; the glue will pick off the silver paper. If this happens, simply apply another square.
