Super simple craft project. Inspired by a recent trip to a fabulous little craft store where I found some fun little 3-D letters made out of MDF. This cute little table popped into my head and I knew I had to have them.
A little nod to Pottery Barn farmhouse style.
Supplies:
3-D Letter X (2 of them)
Wooden Dowel
Pine Craft Wood
Wood Glue
Paint
Stain
Wood sealer
Craft knife
Drill / Drill bits
Step 1: Find the center of the X.
Step 2: Drill a hole in the center of the X large enough to allow the dowel to pass through.
Step 3: Determine the length your dowel needs to be to support the two x's. To figure the length out I set up the x's and set the pine board on top. I left about a quarter inch overhang on each side, marked the dowel and cut to length.
Step 4: {Optional} I wanted my table top to look like boards rather than a solid piece of wood. I divided my wood into three sections with a pencil. Then score over the pencil lines with a craft knife be careful not to cut all the way through.
Step 5: Stain the tabletop (both sides so it doesn't warp). Or if you prefer you can paint it or leave it natural.
Step 6: Glue the dowel in place. Allow to dry thoroughly and paint the entire table base.
Step 7: Seal the tabletop.
I left my tabletop separate from the table base for ease of storage. You could attach yours if you wish. This particular table is just a smidge taller than an actual Barbie table so if you do not have any chairs that fit it you could use it as a kitchen island.
Here's my new Barbie kitchen. A tutorial on that project in the near future.
Happy Crafting!
