[Ahem]
Mica's neighbors had a yard sale with some interesting finds: among them a plastic corner table, which was pretty boring and kind of disgusting on top. So, Shenee and Mica decided to cover it with awesome fabric to make it beautiful, one-of-a-kind, and a more exciting addition to whichever room in Mica's house had space for it.
Drawing the shape of the tabletop onto the fabric as an outline for cutting. *This step is especially important because of the odd shape.*
Cutting the fabric to size and shape. We used the outside edge as a guide, rather than cutting it too small by using the inside.
Hot gluing the corners so they will lie flat in the shape and size to fit in the inside of the tabletop.
Applying Velcro, sticky-side down. The two Velcro pieces were latched together, then the sticky side peeled off the top layer so it could be placed and stuck in the correct spot on the tabletop.
Attaching the Velcro to the tabletop-- we opted for Velcro in case these covers need to be removed and washed.
Some assembly required.
The artists and the finished product, voila :)
The fabric is from Malawi, and we tried to incorporate at least one whole fish per shelf.
It ended up in the bathroom.Thanks for reading, have fun!
