Tic Tac Toe Garden Table
Inspired by a similar idea in pinterest, I found a round wooden table top at the local home improvement store-perfect! My son-in-law burned a tic-tac-toe grid onto the table top. I stained it and nailed it to a tree stump. I purchased some stones and asked my granddaughter to paint them as ladybugs and bees. Didn't they come out great? I found a little wire basket at the dollar store to keep them in. I bought a set of natural cedar curved benches, stained and assembled them. Now when my grandchildren visit, they will have a fun activity to do in the garden.

Have a question about this project?
I want to make this cute table for my granddaughters. I have a log of the right size, but I'm concerned about the table tipping over and hurting someone. Did you secure the base to the ground? If so, how?
Hi Marilee! No, I didn't secure it in any way... All I can tell you is that it is very heavy and hard to move, I haven't had any worries about it tipping over. Best of luck!
what paint was used for the bugs please?
I don't know what Ivylore used, but I used Patio Paint for mine. It holds up very well outdoors and you can get it at craft stores.
