This craft is easy to do, the hard part is being patient enough to cut out and put down each square carefully. The best way you can do this is with an x-acto knife and t-square, I couldn't find mine so we used scissors.
After the table was done my friends settled down to play checkers and chess...with bits of food like almonds and bowtie noodles. The next craft we need to make are some hilarious kitsch chess pieces.
The total cost of this project was $2.00! The result is a pretty table that can double as entertainment when my friends are bored. I like it better now than when I found the table brand new!

Is that the woodgrain contact paper? I love what you've done! I've been thinking of finding a side table to make into a chessboard, and now I'll have the choice of staining or doing this. That should help immensely depending on what I fall in love with for the table. ;)
ReplyDeleteWhat type of paper is that? What did you use to glue it down? Guess what I'm asking is, how exactly did you accomplish this?
ReplyDeleteThe table came out so sweet you did a great job!!!
ReplyDeleteJacqueline: Sorry for not being descriptive in the post!
ReplyDeleteIt's woodgrain print contact paper. Your local dollar tree has it, I'm sure their stock is the same nationwide.
All you do is measure the size squares you want, cut them off, peel the square off the backing, and paste it where you desire. It's so easy; just time consuming!
Your just a chip off the old block.. nice work the table looks great.
ReplyDeletewhat a great idea. the two wood tones look great. how is it holding up? and i agree...you have some good friends! that's a project made way more fun with extra hands to help.
ReplyDeleteAwesome! I love the look. How fun! Great friends--keepers in my book!
ReplyDeleteInspirational! Just the thing for Himself, who is finding my thrifty chic just slightly too floral for his taste at the moment: I might just borrow this idea to create his very own side-table / chess board from a scrubby old table in the garage - very cool idea, thank you!
ReplyDeleteI am in love. I am SOOO doing this! Thanx!

ReplyDeleteWhat a clever idea! It look totally sleek. The best part is it only cost you $2.00. Isn't that amazing? I am so doing this.
