How to Create your DIY Marble End Table
•Start by cutting your top and bottom boards of your table. Sand until smooth.
We repurposed the girls play table & chairs set into this table. Photo is circa 2014!! Our #4 was not even born yet!
We did purchase a piece of wood for the bottom round piece.
•Assemble the table legs with screws and sand!
•Stain your table legs, round board and cross top pieces.
•Paint your table top white.
Begin making marble lines with a grayish black color of paint with a feather or a stick.
As you make lines, immediately spray with water then begin blending with a sponge or old t-shirt, until you get the desired ”marbling”.
• Resin time- I let the paint ”cure” for 24 hours before applying the resin to the top!
When applying resin, this is a good time to follow the directions on package insert!
•Wax-After assembling the table together, add the wax and your done!
Once everything is dry and cured, style your new table! Now you have a beautiful DIY Marble End Table!
