DIY: Faux Stone Accent Table

In some cases when I’m going for walks the aisles of dwelling improvement suppliers I get creative thoughts like these basket plant stands or these table leg candlesticks. Once extra it occurred.

I was in the backyard garden department and noticed some curved resin planters and imagined if I place two with each other they’d variety a awesome foundation for an accent desk. It took plastic bonder and joint compound to unite them, and in this article is the last end result:

 

I bought all my provides at Lowe’s like two 15” planter bases with the same circumference on major (I made use of these types). In addition, here’s what you will need to recreate: two 24” wooden circles joint compound 2” plastic putty knife plastic bonder wood glue coarse sanding wedge Krylon river rock spray paint.

 

To make the top rated, very first, glue the two 24” tops with wood glue and set large books on prime so they remain place and bond jointly. Let to dry about 2 hours. Coat the wooden circle sides and top with two slim layers of joint compound. It is beneficial to do this on a prop of some form. Sand among coats and soon after 2nd coat dries sand yet again to create a largely easy floor. I left mine imperfectly sleek on leading due to the fact I appreciated the texture.

 

in advance of sanding:

soon after sanding:

 

As soon as dry, mark the underside of the wooden circles with the spot of the pedestal in the middle for attaching in the long term.

 

To connect the planters with each other use a bonding glue created for plastic (see backlink previously mentioned). Make it possible for to dry a several several hours then use more joint compound to make any seams vanish. This took a handful of applications, sanding between coats. It will help to spread the joint compound up further than the seam a few of inches to reach a closing smooth search.

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

Use more plastic bonding glue to bond and unite the top rated to the pedestal. Let to dry, then use for show!

 

I’ll put up a video clip on Instagram Reels to present the system. I like how the desk turned out, the pedestal is definitely unique! I’m motivated to use my remaining joint compound to create texture on future ornamental projects.:)
