My Little Tikes Table UpCycle

I'm not sure what it is but ever since becoming a mom I have found my crafty side – LOL!  Lately I have been all over UpCycling some pretty fantastic pieces.  Why not save some money and make a one of a kind item for your home.  So a couple of weeks ago I saw a post on Pinterest of a blogger that made over her Little Tikes table.  See her post HERE.

I loved the idea so much that I hit up kijiji in search of some sort of kids table to make over.  I found the table below for only $10.  I ran over – picked it up and got to work.  I am so super happy with the finished product. 🙂

Other than the table that you are UpCycling you only need a few materials.  

1. A staple gun
2. Cheap spray paint in your colour of choice.  Don't buy the expensive stuff, I spent only a couple of bucks!
3. Your choice of fabric
4. Vinyl to cover the seats and top of table.  I bought a vinyl shower curtain but you can buy sheets of vinyl also.

This was a really easy craft.  It was fairly easy to take apart.  No nails or screws in the version the legs just popped off.  Once all pieces were apart I cleaned and dried them all really well.  The legs took only one coat of paint which was awesome and some touch ups when dry.  I cut the fabric around each piece and stapled it directly to the table.  As the seats are a bit curved I had to do some tucking but it is under the seats so nobody can see it. 😉 Once the fabric was done I repeated the same steps but with the vinyl.

I then put it all back together just as I found it but looking pretty stylish.  Now Shane has a fun little table to sit at, and easy to wipe down any messes made. This was a fun and really easy DIY UpCycle project that looks really cool!
