How To Cover A Tabletop In Fabric (And Make It Look Amazing)
by
Amy
When my little old granny gave me this yard sale table I decided to try something a little different with top.
After sanding the whole table to reveal a naturally beautiful tone underneath I decided to use fabric as a my medium for covering the top.
After sanding the whole table to reveal a naturally beautiful tone underneath I decided to use fabric as a my medium for covering the top.
I used a fabric that I ordered online at Minted.com and used Modge Podge to adhere the fabric to the top.
I poured the Modge Podge over the entire and spread it out with a brush.
I laid the fabric carefully overtop and spread it out being sure to get all the bubbles of air out with my hands.
After it dried over night I trimmed the edges with a utility knife.
Then used 3 coats of Polyurethane over the fabric to protect it and added some shoe molding for a clean edged look.
TADA!
Perfect!

So glad I found your post! I have been planning a table project with fabric, and this gives me clear steps to follow. Hopefully mine will turn out as well as yours. One question - would the polyurethane be better than ModPodge hard coat?

Hi, Amy! What a beautiful finished product!!! Pretty fabric pattern and I love that you left the table's edges distress... instead of painting over it! Excellent job!!! Thanks for sharing :-)
