We’ve had this table for a few years and it’s always been hidden in the farthest, darkest corner of the room because, well, its just plain ugly. See what I mean?
After seeing many a pinterest project with modge podge, I decided to give it a try. I made my own modge podge, which is just a 50/50 mix of white Elmer's glue and water (I felt it was a little runny so I added a little more Elmer's glue). I have a bunch of scrapbooking paper that a friend gave to me, so the hardest part was just figuring out what design to put on the table.
I decided on black and white floral pages. The first step is to modge podge the area where you want to apply paper first. Apply generously. Don't forget to lay down newspaper first!!
Then add scrapbook paper.
Repeat until table is covered with paper. Then apply another coat of modge podge to the entire table.
I was hoping that the paper would cover the edges of the table too, but since it didn’t, I had to cover the edges with a different pattern.
Notice the table’s legs are missing? My husband stole them to spray paint them black for me. He insisted they match. Fine with me
And now, the finished product!! And BEST of all, it was completely FREE and I have a gorgeous table now instead of that eye sore. Thanks, Pinterest!
