Sewing Table

3 Materials
Antique sewing base with vintage rulers creating the top!
Using 3/4" Brad nails, I attached the rulers to the plywood. I also attached rulers to the sides of the plywood to form a box.
I then coated the rulers with a high gloss resin. I used 2 coats to get the coverage I wanted.
I then screwed the new too onto an antique sewing base I had purchased at a flea market.
The finished project is now a puzzle/craft table for my children and I.
I used a piece of finished and sanded 3/4" plywood size 2' x 3' to adhere the rulers to.
Suggested materials:
  • Sewing machine base   (Flea market)
  • Vintage yard sticks   (Flea market)
  • Resin   (Home Depot)

    I think they were yard stickers and not rulers?
