The little white table was kind of a panic buy, we hadn't yet furnished our spare bedroom and were expecting guests so we had to run out and buy a load of furniture, which resulted in, a couple of days later, questions such as, 'why did we buy that again?' and 'I can't believe I exchanged money for that!'. So anyway, lets just say this little table isn't our favourite piece, but there was something I liked about the leg structure so it was the perfect candidate for a little up cycle!
So the scrap fabric I chose for this was from an old skirt, I really liked the colour and pattern but I didn't really like the style so much so cutting it up into strips wasn't too heart wrenching! Apart from the fabric all I needed was some craft glue and a paint brush.
I started at the bottom and brushed a little glue onto the metal legs, I brushed it thinly as its white glue and and I didn't want it to seep through the fabric and affect the colour.
Take the end of a strip and stick it firmly to the leg.
Then all you need to do is wrap! This is probably the easiest DIY ever! I kept dotting little bits of glue along the legs to make sure the fabric was held firmly. To add a new strip all you have to do is brush some glue onto the end of the previous strip and start wrapping the strip, slightly overlapping the previous - its easier than it sounds!
TA-DAH! Yes I am extremely proud of this, I think it looks amazing and you can do it to anything! Up cycle metal bed frames, lamps, hatstands, wire coat hangers or even wall art! The possibilities are endless!
