Dining outdoors is a favorite pastime, why not celebrate your wedding day with a picnic themed party with this low wood table that you can make yourself. It's simple to do, and in just a few steps you'll have a fully functional low wood table complete with lace runner. This is a practical project that will provide comfort and function for your guests, as they dine on casual picnic fare, atop a cozy blanket and pillows.
Using a ruler or yardstick, carefully measure the stained wood sign and one of the wood flower boxes to determine the center point of each. Place the flower box on the wood board where you wish to adhere it.
Outline the edges of the wood flower box using a chalk marker. Don't worry about the lines showing, this will be the bottom of the table by the end of this project! Repeat this step on the opposite end of the wood sign.
Reserve the wood flower box by placing it aside. Apply a line of wood glue along the chalk line that you created. Again, don't worry too much about getting this line perfect, this part of the low wood table won't be visible when the project is complete.
Place the wood flower boxes into the glue as shown, and align well. Measure again to be sure they are properly placed, then allow to dry overnight.
Using scissors, trim a length of ivory lace to fit the width of the table. Believe it or not, this simple scrap will become a built in lace table runner when you're finished.
Apply a generous coat of Mod Podge to the center of the table using a paint brush. This is the base for where you will place the lace scrap.
Lay the lace scrap across the center of the table, and apply more Mod Podge to the surface of just the lace. Be careful not to extend the Mod Podge on to the bare table surface, as it will make the finish matte and create a less professional finish.
Use scissors to trim the edges of the lace that may have overlapped the edge of the table, and discard or save for another project. Allow the Mod Podge to dry thoroughly before using your completed table. The decoupage adhesive goes on white, but don't worry, it dries completely clear!
