Long time, no chat, My Chickadees! Happy 2012!!
I know I have been MIA lately, but the holidays were busy and I just didn’t have time to get on the blog!!
But I do have a super cute and easy craft that we can all use- a personalize craft table!!
So, I had been using my countertops and sometimes even my dining room table (shame on me, since it was so nice and pretty and new!), but there were times I wanted to set up somewhere else or I didn’t want to have to pack everything up to make dinner. And then it hit me one night while I was wrapping Christmas presents on my floor- hoping the dogs didn’t step on the gift wrap or presents- that I needed a craft table.
So, off I went to my favorite $100 store, Target, to see what they had (it is my $100 store because I never feel like I can leave unless I have spent at least $100, all on stuff I didn't know I HAD to have!). I found a table for $30, and I really liked it, but I felt like I was going to mess it up almost immediately with my glue, and glitter and all things “Christmasy”.
And then it hit me- COVER THE TABLE. And not in a table cloth, but something with some stick to it. So, I got me some contact paper. I picked the black & white printed pattern, but they had a bunch of different options, so it would be totally customizable!
I decided to give it a white border around it, to give it a polished look. ;o) So first, I covered it with white contact paper.
Then, I gave it a “cutout” of the black and white pattern. The contact paper was pretty easy to use- just peel and stick, and if you mess up, you can just peel and re-stick!
Here is my finished table!
Happy Crafting Chickadees!
