CD Coffee table

CD Coffee Table

                            

From the moment I saw this coffee table sitting in Treasures from the Heart in Baldwin, WI I knew I had to have it and make it into my very own creation.  It was in pretty good shape when I got it but I knew I could turn it into something great!

Items you will need:

1.            Foam Paint Brushes

2.            Paint and Primer

3.            E6000 Permanent Craft Adhesive

4.            Wood Picture frame (size depends on the measurement of the top)

5.            CDs (we used 8 blank CD’s)

We began by priming the coffee table.  It was laminate wood so we had to make sure we went over it enough to get a good coat. 

We then painted it a teal blue color (you can use whatever color you want, we used teal because it matched the CD's well.  Make sure you go over it a couple of times to get rid of unwanted brush strokes. To make the process go faster we had fans blowing on it.

 

After the paint had dried, we put E3000 Permanent Craft Adhesive around the perimeter of the picture frame. We went around two times, once around the outer edge and once around the inner edge. Then, we put the frame onto the table top. We had made sure beforehand that it would fit perfectly. (We used a dark wooded picture frame because it was a good accent color.  Finally, we put all the CD's were we wanted them and marked them off with a pencil. We then began putting E3000 Permanent Craft Adhesive around the outer and inner edge of the CD (make sure when you go around the inside of the circle that you don’t put the glue on the clear part because then you will see it when you lay them back down.  We let it dry with Fans blowing on it all night.  It sat for about 10 hours and then it was finished!
