Children's Table Makeover

My daughter loves playing kitchen, having tea parties and doing all sorts of art projects. I think every kid needs to have their own table that's just their size. I wanted something that would be cute, stylish, durable and not just a folding table. Cute children's tables can be pretty pricey and you know that's not my style. I found this one at Ikea for $20 and put my own spin on it. Enjoy! Also please click to follow me and leave a comment so I know you were here! I really appreciate all the support!

Here's what I used:
table and chairs
modge podge
paper
alphabet/number stickers
paint (if you want to change the color)


  1. Paint table
  2. Measure each place you want to cover with paper. I used coordinating paper, but used a different piece on every section. I covered all sides of the chairs including the seat. For the table I used the stickers to cover all sides.
  3. Apply modge podge one section at a time and adhere paper. I also put a layer of modge podge over the paper and stickers to give it extra protection and to make it easy to wipe off.

    I'm dropping by from Creations by Kara. Love your table and chairs. I just posted pictures of a chair redo that I did using napkins for the design. I'll have to try your way too!

    This is great! I have two of these tables in my classroom. I think they need a new look before school starts! Thanks for linking to Home and Family Friday!

    What a great idea. I have been looking for a cute toddler table but they are all pretty boring. It is more fun to do it yourself anyway. I would love it if you would stop by and link this post up to my crafty link party that I just started at Lines Across My Face.

    Hiya! Found this on NJAH, and I recognized the Ikea set we also have for our toddler. I love this idea! I will use some of the scrapbook paper I already have to get started. Quick question: do you find the modge podge does a good enough job of handling a toddler's mess and damage? Thanks!

    FYI - just finished painting the chairs.... I have some great scrapbook paper for a more gender neutral version of your fun table and chairs (one son, and one surprise on the way!) I will send you a link to my finished project when it's all done. Paint better dry FAST, my due date is less than two weeks away!
