Learn how to revamp nesting tables by giving them a vinyl plank table top!
This is a perfect way to use leftover flooring in a DIY project.
Sometimes you walk by an item in the thrift store without a second glance.
Thats exactly what I did with a pair of nesting tables at our local junk shop .
The vinyl flooring is tough, water resistant, and easy to cut.
If you dont have the flooring, ask for leftovers at Home Depot.
Theyll give them to you for free or pennies on the dollar!
Heres how we revamped our tables with a vinyl plank table top.
This is just so you arent working with long pieces that are flapping around.
Join the flooring planks together and use painters tape to hold them in place when you flip them over.
ensure you join enough pieces to cover the width of the tables, and overhang a bit.
Remove the table top from the legs if possible.
Let glue dry according to instructions on the glue bottle.
Use a router with a round over bit to remove the excess flooring and clean up the tabletop edges.
This is how your tabletop will look after its been routed.
Use painters tape to mask off the new table surface, then paint or stain the edges as needed.
We used a brown acrylic paint that was between the tabletop and the legs.
Let your tabletops dry and then reattach them to the legs.
Our nesting tables are turned from trash to treasure!
And we can put any sort of cups on the top and theyll be just fine.
Which is kind of nice, because who wants to use acoasterall the time?
