Crafty Ladies. Need ideas/help.

Mr. Val and I are refinishing an old dresser for Sadie's room and I'd like to line the drawers with some pretty paper.  I'm thinking I thee easiest way would be to decoupage, but I've never actually done a decoupage project.  Is it hard? Do you have any other suggestions to line a drawer with pretty paper? All the contact paper I've found is blah.
Sadie is not impressed.

    I just lined DD's with pretty wrapping paper. It lasted long enough. I used spray adhesive in the bottom of the drawer, then laid it down.

    edit- laid

    Its sooo easy. But just remember use Mod Podge, its the best. And when you do it use a good quality paper or whatever you are using because the Mod Podge will make it thin.

    ETA: Or use spray adhesive.

     It's Valspar Simply Seafoam.  I seriously love it.

    Decopage is really easy, but def permanent. You can buy special decopage glue, but my mom swore by just watered down Elmers Glue. Same thing. Really you just slap a layer of glue down in the bottom of the drawer, press the paper into it, and then paint the glue on top also so that the paper is a little mushy and sticks. It will dry clear.

    It will probably cause little lines and such, but with a patterned paper it actually adds to the charm. Make sure the colors in your paper won't run by testing it first - I decopaged some pics I'd printed out on my printer once and they ran.

    I love colors like that.  I'm going to write that down.  Thanks!
