I have a round drop leaf table and would like to add 3 accent stripes to the center. I can't seem to get a straight line. I thank you all in advance!

    I would make a paper pattern of the exact size of the top of your table, then cut down to trace around the pattern to make the circles that you want to paint.

    That's a really good idea, and I;m sure I will use it on future projects. On this table I want to put vertical stripes across the table, but can't seem to apply the tape straight. I don't want to use a pencil line, as the colors are on the light side. Thought about a chalk lign.

      @Lisa Use a straight edge. It's like a yard stick only thin metal. Works wonders!
