DIY Card Table Makeover

So I was contacted by AlwaysMod.com and asked to do a project using Marimekko Fabric. There were no rules or requirements so I decided It was time to give this Nasty Card Table a new Life.
I chose the


MARIMEKKO SIIRTOLAPUUTARHA TURQUOISE/GREEN PVC FABRIC from AlwaysMod.com. It's got a really slick plastic like coating and is mostly water proof. You could also use a Vinyl Tablecloth for this.
So to get started I removed the top from the frame. super easy Just a few screws and it was off.


After that I primed the metal frame with gray primer let it dry, then covered the whole thing in 2 layers of black spray paint. I didn't take photos of this part but I trust ya'll can figure it out.
Between coats I set myBatting and fabric (pretty side down) on the craft table then put the table top on it to cut them to size
.Once the fabric was cut I stapled it to the top. Then re-attached my new top to the frame. So EASY.
