This was another one of my Pinterest Craft Find. My sister & brother-in-law gave me their old coffee table they did not have any need for. Since I needed a coffee table, I decided to take it and make it my own! After a few trips to Hobby Lobby & Forsyth's Fabrics in Atlanta (my favorite fabric store in town!), I was able to gather everything I needed for my next project.
Items you need:
Sand Paper
Spray Paint for the legs of the table
Spray adhesive
Gorilla Glue
2" or 3" Foam (for the cushion)
Batting
Staple Gun
Fabric (I got 1.5 Yards to make sure I had enough)
First I sanded down the table and spray painted the legs.
Then, I cut and attached all of the foam to the coffee table with Spray Adhesive & Gorilla Glue. Make sure to get all of the sides of the table.
Next, I stapled the batting all the way around the foam, to make sure it stays in place.
Lastly, I stapled the fabric all the way around the table, making sure to tuck the corners. My first attempt, I did not get enough fabric to cover the entire coffee table. I am going to use this fabric later to make pillows for my couch.
So attempt #2, I had help from Andrew! I was able to buy enough fabric this time to wrap around the entire table.

The Final Product!
This project took about 3-4 hours and was a lot of fun to do! It is an easy way to update an old, ugly table into something that you will love for years.
