Ikea Table Makeover

 

Grace has one of those plain white Ikea tables which has suited our purposes for crafting and the occasional tea party but lacked a bit of character.

I decided to overcome my fear of Mod Podge, when I came across this pretty pink and green floral paper, from Dick Blick, in hopes that it would give our boring white table a bit of character and charm.

Do you have a boring table of your own and want to learn how to make it over?  Gather the following supplies.

First, you'll apply a thin EVEN layer of Mod Podge to the clean table top.  Slowly put the paper in place, over the coat of Mod Podge you applied.  Press it down firmly and flatly.

Then wait {hence the requirement patience and time}.

Once fully dry, apply a layer of Mod Podge over the top of the paper to seal the paper.

Then wait.

Once fully dry, apply another layer of Mod Podge over the top of the paper.

Then wait.

When fully dry, throw a tea party.

Or allow the creative juices to flow and do some crafting.

If only all makeovers simply required a little Mod Podge :)
