DIY: Faux Stone Accent Table

At times when I’m walking the aisles of residence improvement shops I get inventive ideas like these basket plant stands or these table leg candlesticks. The moment far more it transpired.

I was in the yard office and spotted some curved resin planters and assumed if I put two alongside one another they’d kind a awesome foundation for an accent table. It took plastic bonder and joint compound to unite them, and in this article is the final consequence:

I purchased all my materials at Lowe’s which include two 15” planter bases with the exact same circumference on prime (I utilised these ones). In addition, here’s what you’ll will need to recreate: two 24” wood circles joint compound 2” plastic putty knife plastic bonder wooden glue coarse sanding wedge Krylon river rock spray paint.

To make the major, initially, glue the two 24” tops with wooden glue and established significant guides on prime so they continue to be place and bond alongside one another. Enable to dry about 2 several hours. Coat the wood circle sides and major with two slender layers of joint compound. It’s handy to do this on a prop of some variety. Sand amongst coats and immediately after next coat dries sand yet again to develop a largely smooth surface. I left mine imperfectly easy on leading since I preferred the texture.

right after sanding:

The moment dry, mark the underside of the wooden circles with the locale of the pedestal in the middle for attaching in the upcoming.

To attach the planters collectively use a bonding glue designed for plastic (see url above). Allow to dry a handful of several hours then use more joint compound to make any seams vanish. This took a several programs, sanding amongst coats. It allows to spread the joint compound up outside of the seam a pair of inches to attain a remaining sleek glance.

The moment the joint compound is sanded and smooth, coat the top rated and pedestal with spray paint. I selected River Rock by Valspar to mimic a stone hue.

Use supplemental plastic bonding glue to bond and unite the major to the pedestal. Make it possible for to dry, then use for display!

I’ll write-up a online video on Instagram Reels to present the approach. I like how the table turned out, the pedestal is definitely distinctive! I’m impressed to use my remaining joint compound to create texture on future ornamental projects.:)
