Stained Glass Patio Table for Under $25
28.06.2023 - 09:29 / hometalk.com
I found this glass topped table at a flea market for $5.00. I liked the height but it was too plain — it needed to be DIY-ed!
The table was in good shape with only a little rust and dirt.
The glass was easily removed from the metal ring and the table legs.
I decided on a sun to paint onto the table top. I found the picture on-line and had it printed at Staples. This was the biggest expense. You could also print the picture out on a home printer.
To begin, I needed lead lines. I used half a bottle of white glue and added black craft paint. The ratio was 2:1 (glue:paint). Giving it a good shake, it was ready to use.
Before starting on the table top, I wanted to make sure I had the tip open wide enough to make the lines but not too wide so it would just be a big mess. I used a paper towel to test.
I laid the picture onto my work surface and then laid the glass on top of the picture. I would be working on the wrong side of the glass, meaning the actual painting would be on the bottom of the table top once I was finished.
I began to outline the entire picture. I kept a paper towel handy to clean off the tip of the bottle from time to time.
I allowed the «lead lines» to dry. Because I'm a perfectionist, I used a utility knife to clean up any lines that were too thick.
I carefully cut away any excess paint. If I accidentally cut an entire line, I just reapplied some glue and let it dry.
For the color, I used clear school glue and craft paint at a ratio of 3:1 (glue:paint). I mixed it well until it was the consistency of honey.
Using a small, flat brush, I began to fill in the picture. If the color was too light, I applied two coats of paint; however, you don't want it too heavy or the light won't shine through.
My picture had a

Herb Garden in Patio Table
This easy table modification all started because we live in cow country and where you have cows, you have flies. They drive me crazy in the summer so I am always looking for ways to deter them. The other day I was at OSH and the sales lady said that most herbs are a natural fly repellent. That got me thinking and this project was born. Now the jury is still out if this works on the flies but I love the end results anyway.
