How to Decorate a Table: A Table for Tea Tutorial
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…. 

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
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.
looks great! Never had tea parties myself…
That's really cute!
That turned out so cute! What fun your little princess will have with her tea parties on that table!
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!!!
Adorable! I hope that she loves it. :)
How cute!!! I bet she loves it!!!
Cute idea…and these are so cheap at the GW store! Will remember this idea!!

So adorable! Love the elegance of the pink paper and the lacy edge! Hope you will share with my Pink Hippo Party @ http://pinkapotamus.blogspot.com/2011/08/pink-hippo-party-40.html
What a great idea! I am planning a tea party very soon for my daughter and her friends, and I HAVE one of those tables! I will be using this idea!
