Blue Side Table

We are back.  All technical difficulties have been resolved.


Here's a cute little table that we put in our shop this week and a little DIY instruction to go with it.  We've named it the Caribbean Blue Side Table.




First, I sanded and used a flexible sand sponge for the rounded parts of the table.

Then I removed dust with a little paint thinner and a rag, primed and allowed to cure.


I love sanding blocks


Then I painted. A couple of coats of spray paint did the trick.  A couple of coats of polyurethane sealed the deal.

 For the drawer I decided to use a  fabric liner:

First I made paper template for all sides...numbering front sides.

Then I cut out  the fabric.



I spread on regular matte mod podge..one side at a time

I layed my fabric down and smoothed out any bubbles...one side at a time.

After a couple of hours I laid on a top coat of mod podge, let it dry and laid on to more coats.


Last but not least I laid on a couple of layers of polyurethane, this will keep the modge podge from ever feeling tacky, even in hot weather.
