3 Spurz DandC Repurposed /Refurbished Creations!!: DIY Decoupage Coffee Table!

One of Our most popular pin on Pinterest is this decoupage coffee table.

We will be showing you guys a step by step tutorial on decoupaging a coffee table.

We found this wonderful coffee table at a garage sale.

Before paint I prep the piece using;

150 grit sand paper and to give it that smooth finish a 220 grit sand paper.

After I have sanded the piece I clean it with a damp cloth before I start painting it.

I paint the coffee table using Teal tone by Benjamin Moore (leaving the top unpainted)

I distress the piece with 220 grit sand paper to give it that perfect aged look.

Before staining and waxing I have cleaned the piece with a damp cloth.

After is dry I stained it using Minwax Early American 230 and Minwax Paste finishing Wax to seal it.

Decoupaging the top

I've use this music book we found at a garage sale, removing the sheets by using an xacto knife.

Using Microsoft paint I have scale the image onto pages

(Go to page setup then onto scaling you can choose Fit to by pages)

I then print the vintage image onto the sheets of music using a laser printer.

Then I trace the lines using a ruler and a pencil make sure they are straight, then cutout with scissors.

It should look like this.

After I have centered the image I go straight to decoupaging using Mod Podge Antique Matte, what I do is glue the base then place sheet by sheet and smooth it with a gift card or you can use the mod podge tool.

I let it dry then proceed to sand the edges with my 200 grit it works wonders.

After I am done sanding the edges I proceed in decoupage the top with my mod podge antique matte giving it two coats (note: do not worry about the bubbles just let it dry they will go away).

Then the following day I gave it two coats of polyurethane to seal it.

And here is the finished product.

You can see how the mod podge gave it an even more aged look.
