I wanted to make a cute, functional table for my daughter’s room. Something that was inexpensive and yet would be perfect for my little princess and her tea parties.
We had one of those round tables we were going to donate and I saw potential….
A bit of primer and then white paint
I ModPodged wrapping paper to the top. TIP: take a damp sponge and press on both the front and back to eliminate those nasty air bubbles and wrinkles. THEN, ModPodge.

Hot Glue trim around the table

Sweetness
Since I had everything except the wrapping paper, it cost only $2.45!!

QUESTION: Do you remember your tea parties? I giggled this last week when she starting playing “tea”.

Link Parties I participate in: Sunday Sketch, Under the Table and Dreaming, Flamingo Toes, Sew Many Ways, Craftomaniac, Homemaker on a Dime, Dittle Dattle, Polly Want a Crafter, Shabby Chic Cottage, Miss Mustard Seed, The Creative Crate, Remodelaholic, Serenity Now, Craft Envy

    OMG! It's so cute! I remember my first tea party very well – but I did not have such a nice table as yours.
    You are so creative, Erika!

    That's seriously cute! And it's funny– I had that exact table years ago, and I also spray-painted it white, but I put fake mosaics on the top. It's still going strong in my YD's bedroom.

    what an adorable table. I never had anything so fancy when I was a kid. I believe all my tea parties were at the coffee table in the living room

    My youngest daughter still has tea parties at nearly 30 years of age! She just loves tea and teapots and tea cups! Of course, I love tea too–she had to get it from somewhere!!!
