Upcycled Funky Table

I am back this week with my project for Altered Eclectics challenge for May. I decided to upcycle an old side table I was given.  It was one of those tables that you hide under a tablecloth  that usually matched your bedspread.  I think they were popular in the 70's. 

This is what I started with.

My new funky outdoor table

I used a stencil for the center of the table with sharpies, ink and paint.I then masked the outside edge with round labels and  page re-enforcements and painted it with Acrylic paint. 

 

I painted, stenciled and free hand drew a different pattern on each side of each leg of the table. 

It's New Home 





Hope you will join us this week at Altered Eclectics. show us your altered art, mix media, recycling or upcycling projects and enter them here.
