I’ve shown you a lot of decoupage
projects lately, so I thought I’d show you another one that I did years
ago. When I got my first apartment, my
entire apartment was furnished from thrift stores. Here’s how I turned an ugly side table into a
usable piece for that apartment.
First, I bought a random $5 table
from Goodwill that met the size requirements I was looking for. Then, I painted the table black. Once the table was dry, I applied a layer of
Mod Podge to the top of the table and quickly placed scrapbook paper on top of
the wet glue. I used four pieces of
scrapbook paper that looked like pages from a dictionary and left a few inches of painted black edge along the top of
the table. Lastly, I applied a second
layer of Mod Podge on top of the paper, and then let it dry.
After supplies, this table was
less than $10. I still use this table
in our house now, so I’d say I got my ten bucks worthJ
Nobody would ever know that was a $10 table unless you told them. Great job!
