How To Decorate an Old Table with Washi Tape

I love recycling & upcycling projects. There is always a safe side while recycling stuff, You don’t need to worry about any craft fail. If the projects went trashy, No worries! It was already a trash though.. Haha! would you like to see what I have done from trash to treasure? Remember I have shared a sneak peek of my today’s upcycling idea in my Corn Husk Flowers Making post. See How To Decorate an Old Table with Washi Tape. I hope you will enjoy this idea.

How To Decorate an Old Table with Washi Tape

I saw an old table in the store area. Suddenly there was an idea in my mind. I asked myself “Why not to reuse this table?” As I were already in need of a small table in my craftroom. So it was the perfect time to do it. So here it is what I have done!

Have a look at BEFORE image, its surface was marble designed Formica sheet but a bit chipped from the corners of the table.

How To Decorate with Washi Tape

Let’s start working on :)

I cut some strips of paper tapes according to the size of table surface.

Decorate with Washi Tape

I coat the table surface with water & then glue & then started pasting brown paper strips on the table surface.

Here I notice it was not perfectly pasted, the lines are visible awkwardly. Right? So why not to hide these with some washi tape?

So I cover the awkward lines with colorful washi tapes of chevron design. It was super easy & quick idea.

Here is the AFTER image, looks good?

It’s a very old table actually, It was hard to believe for my mother if its the same table. She didn’t recognize the table at her first sight. I am glad to see her response when she saw this trash item into something useful again.
