Description

Update an old, scuffed-up coffee table for your living room. A little paint and pattern can go a long way!

Instructions

  1. Small 107676 2f2015 02 25 081435 112 lars page%2b104%2bmenu art r1 page 7

    Lightly sand the coffee table and wipe off any dust.

  2. We wanted to cover the sides of this old coffee table. To do this, we measured the unwanted areas and used scissors to cut balsa wood to fit over the existing design.

  3. Prime the coffee table with a primer. Once dry, paint 2 to 3 coats of white gloss latex paint, allowing drying time in between each coat.

  4. Small 107676 2f2015 02 25 081442 112 lars page%2b104%2bmenu art r1 page 5

    Use scissors to cut 2-inch long pieces of electrical tape and lay the pieces next to each other at different heights to create a zigzag pattern.
