Cut the adhesive film into 5 cm circles with a circle cutter.

Step 2

With a pencil and a straight edge, draw a grid onto the chest of drawers to help position the dots.

Step 3

Remove the film's backing paper and stick the dots to the chest of drawers one by one. Choose the colors randomly. It looks best if you use at least three different colors to avoid unwanted clustering.
