How To Make a Lace Patterned Coffee Table/ 1-2. Supplies Needed: A coffee table in imperfect condition. Ours is faux wood (plastic!) and had several scratches and dents. We would never do this to a piece in perfect vintage condition, but for this $3 thrift find it was the perfect solution. You'll also need lace (enough to mask the entire table) and spray paint (we chose Pistachio!). 2. Next, we covered the top of the table with lace and secured the edges underneath with masking tape. 3. After making sure all the edges were secure, we sprayed the legs a solid color to make the top pop even more! 4. Begin spray painting over the lace about a foot away, covering the entire table. 5. We let the paint dry for about an hour on a warm day. 6. After it's dry, slowly begin peeling the lace back to reveal your beautiful new table! This technique is also perfect for creating a pretty journal cover, a suitcase or making a pretty piece of art to frame. Enjoy!
Thanks for taking a peek! xo, elsie
Thank you! We did this to two of our tables, and we spray painted a different color for the base for some fun colorblocking.
Thank you for this post, I’ll try it myself this weekend – have these basic coffee tables from IKEA.
Do you have any ideas to re-use the lace afterwards? It’d be a pitty to throw it away 🙂
Cheers
great idea, so glad I stumbled across this! Your blog always inspires me when I’m in a creative rut! x
I just used this technique to make lace printed fabric with fabric paint! It turned out surprisingly well. I ended up sewing it into a little top!
you can see it here if you like!

that´s so pretty!!!
Looks really charming. I’m going to try this once I figure out what table to paint!
Pure genius! Why are the best ideas always the simplest. Crazy idea to use it for a bedroom door – I love it ;9)
Any ideas for doing this on a glass table?
I loved this tutorial so much that I just did i this this weekend on an old TV stand I found. My roommate and I are using it as a side table and I’m absolutely in love with it! (I made re-painted a lamp to bring out the cream color I did for the lace)
http://www.guccioutlet-jp.net/ 日本電機工業会(JEMA)が26日発表した白物家電の2月の国内出荷額は前年同月比3.7%増の1573億円で、昨年6月以来のプラスとなった。冷蔵庫が16.0%増の251億円、洗濯機が14.3%増の237億円と大きく伸び、エアコンも0.5%増の403億円と堅調だった。東日本大震災後の節電意識の高まりを追い風に、省エネ性能の優れた製品への買い替えが進んだ。昨年7月以降は記録的な猛暑と家電エコポイント制度の特需の反動で前年割れが続いたが、2011年4~9月期は15年ぶりの高水準を維持している。
It’s great and all, but just as a study in human perspective, my first thought upon seeing the pic was, “..bad for that book..”
Just a comment on the image. I love the project, and have plans for a dresser in my room.
Ottoman coffee tables that can double as footstools, or nesting coffee tables that stack inside or below each other are ideal for entertaining large groups in a small area.
Wow I never would of thought of this, but I am definitely going to do it! 🙂 You have a fabulous blog and I’m soo happy that I found it! Keep it up! I love it all!!! 🙂
Love this idea. I actually used this technique on my hand-made wedding invitations several years ago, but I never thought to apply it to furniture.
seriously this is the best thing ever.
Love this idea! <3 How clever.
