Cut all the pieces in the appropriate material.

Drawers
^^^^^^^

Using contact glue attach the back side to the plate,

then the two lateral sides

and finally the front.

Spread PVA on the bookcloth for the sides, put the drawer so that it is
centered on the shorter side and wrap the bookcloth all around the
drawer, keeping the join as close as possible to one of the back
corners.

Clip the corners of the bookcloth and let the excess adhere to the
bottom and to the inside of the drawer.

Spread PVA on the bookcloth for the bottom, put it on the bottom.

Cut 5 cm of ribbon, fold it in half, and attach it with contact glue to
the middle of the front of the drawer, extending from the edge by 1.25 cm.

Spread PVA on the one of the wider side linings, put it in the back of
the drawer, starting 2 mm from the top edge and extending on both sides.
Repeat for the front of the drawer.

Spread PVA on the narrower side linings, put them in the sides of the
drawer, starting again 2 mm from the top edge.

Spread PVA on the bottom lining, put it in the bottom of the drawer.

Assemble the optional divider inserting each piece in the slots of three
other pieces.

Repeat for all other drawers.
