This kids craft table top was made with an inexpensive door and covered in Plexiglas
- loving this!
- loving this!The magazine article mentions what the homeowner created: "So Anne bought a full-sized hollow door (The Home Depot, $30) and gave the door's measurements to a local glass store, which cut a same-sized piece of Plexiglas for the top (about $60). (She also asked them to file the edges and corners smooth.) The tabletop would rest on two child-height sets of drawers.
Here's where Anne gets an A for Aesthetic. She unfurled a roll of her favorite funky wrapping paper and laid the Plexiglas over it. She cut the paper to size with a utility knife, then lifted paper and Plexiglas together (two people are better for this than one) and aligned it on top of the door. The door and Plexiglas sandwich the wrapping paper so no glue is needed. And presto: a gorgeous table worthy of a young craft goddess. (Plus, you can change the paper to vary the look as time goes by.) "

How great with the fun wrapping paper and plexiglass. I wonder if I could do that for my daughter's table and have someone cut a circle in the plexiglass, hmmm, something to think about!

ReplyDeletewhat a great project....I would have loved a craft area like that growing up...any child would!
ReplyDeleteThank you so much! I just finished this for my daughter's homeschool room. I used two doors in an L shape and IKEA desk legs. It was so easy my 11 year old built most of it herself. She even picked out her own wrapping paper. Love it!!
