More craftiness

Right around the new year, we got this great table and chairs set from Ikea. I had seen an idea online about covering the fiberboard table top and chair tops in oilcloth. So today, I found some cute oilcloth, and while the girls were taking their naps, I put it all together. I'm really happy with how it all turned out!



By the way, those crayons on the table...the twistables...those are the best crayons ever. No more pieces of crayon paper laying around, no more broken crayons. I love them.

  3. (a) VERY CUTE!!!
    (b) So THAT's where you were this morning...shopping for oilcloth, eh?
    (c) are the twistables washable? Because I can handle the paper, but I have to be able to wash off the evidence. :o)
    Well done, Mama! :o)

  5. marybeth, it's kind of ghetto, but i just used regular scotch tape to stick it on the back of the fiberboard. but the slots that it fits into holds it in place.

  7. Gotcha! Then you can definitely change it out if you wanted. I was thinking you could use spray adhesive otherwise.
