Everything that is done with your own hands is more valuable and durable. Having decided to do needlework, start with a small. Make a small shelf or coffee table. First you can put in order, for example, an old, lost look, table.
If there is nothing like this among old things, try to experiment with a chair or stool. The basis of these structures is almost the same. So, let’s look in stages how to make a coffee table out of the old chair.
Description of the article:
We fasten the stands
We make a countertop
First, if a chair is with a back, then it should be removed. We saw off the back exactly at the beginning of the seat seat. Secondly, if it is a chair with a soft seat, then the upholstery, vatin or foam rubber must also be removed.
Thus, a naked stool frame appears before us. The next stage of work involves a small repair, the purpose of which is to ensure the stability of the design. If the legs of the chair have retained their integrity, then this is good.
We fasten the stands
If not, then they should be felled, and cut small stands to the bottom a little more than the perimeter of the legs. Attaching the stands, again check the design for stability. By the way, the table can be made double -tier.
To do this, from a piece of plywood we cut out a square equal or a little more of a chair seat. We make holes for the legs and fasten with small screws and glue. The next stage is the manufacture of countertops. It can also be made from plywood, it is best to take 10 mm. We cut out a square, rhombus, polygon, oval or circle, in this respect it all depends on your taste.
We make a countertop
Try to make a countertop in proportion to the frame. Attaching it to the base with the help of glue on wood and self -tapping screws, we get a holistic structure. At the final stage of work, the finished product is decorated.
Consider several decor options. Firstly, it can be a color decor. To do this, you need to purchase several colors of acrylic paint, or white paint and various collars.
Having picked up the color scheme, stain the product. After the paint layer dried, we cover everything with acrylic varnish. Secondly, you can use old newspapers. A collage is cut out of old newspapers and magazines and it is pasted over the product, and then covered with acrylic varnish. Thirdly, you can use matter, old wallpapers, photographs, coins, natural stone according to the same principle.
