So, this is an "oldie", but a "goodie." I have had A TON of requests for instructions on how I (Ok, WE, put together my craft table). I found a plan for this table (a similar one) on pinterest a few years ago and kind of made up my own plans! My AMAZING husband (who is quickly turning into a craftsman since he builds all of my craft show displays as well) put it together for me once I had drawn up the plans.
- 2 "cheap-" book cases (mine came from Wal-Mart for $32)
- 1 large piece of melamine (Home Depot- they also cut mine down to proper size for me! Cost me $30)
- Melamine iron-edging sealer (so the edges won't be raw- also from Home Depot-$5)
- Brackets/Screws- $5
- Yardstick (optional)- I have mine attached to the front of my table so measuring fabric/ribbon/wire is SUPER easy- I love it!
There are no real "instructions". Put the Bookcases together according to package directions. Lay the melamine on top of the bookcases ( with the bookcases at the opposite ends of the melamine sheet). Use brackets to secure the melamine top to the back side/top of the bookcases. Follow the directions on the melamine edging kit (mine used an iron) to "finish" the edges. You could levae them raw if you would like, but I wouldn't recommend it. Attach the yardstick to the front of the melamine and BAM!
This whole project cost me only about $70 and I LOVE my table. It has been through countless projects with a myriad of mediums and has never scarred or stained! It even made it through our recent move with no damage :-) It is perfect for storing all of my crafting and boutique supplies!
