So, this old utility coffee table was destined to go to the tip, I decided that rather than just dump it I could have a play, i'd seen some furniture on Pinterest by a company called 'Sticks', very colourful & fun, so thought i'd give it a try.
Firstly, I had to buy a sander, I chose a little Black & Decker Detail Sander and bought it from Amazon. I also had to buy a electric Pyrography Poker so I went for one of the cheapest, Antex Craft - Pyro Master , a decision I am beginning to regret...but more about that in a later post when I do a review.
After lightly sanding the top of the table, I used plates & rulers to mark our boundaries for the different sections of the design, drew a few pictures, including a couple of my two dogs, Tilly the terrier & Bronwyn the collie, then went over the pencil lines with the hot poker. I then just filled in the outlines with acrylic paint & then varnished it.
I love it, probably because it's the first thing I did...
