It's WISE to DIY: Thrify Ideas for the Do-It-Yourselfer

She Does TWO Unusual Things To This Table To Make It A ONE OF A KIND!

So here is the original table.  A steal for $2.

After a primer and 2 coats of white latex paint, she got out her colors.

With paint chip, she applied her chosen colors in strips for an uneven cover.

Then she blended it…

She also added more white and then more colors until she had the look she loved.

After that dried, she went for sisal rope and with hot glue, applied it to the side of the table…

And kept that up till it was completely covered.

The final product is beachy and so very cool and definitely one-of-a-kind!
