| Slick Surface with Waterproof Covering for a Child's Table |
THE METHOD: Basically, you attach the cloth with hot glue adn/or a staple gun to your tabltop, corkbaord, etc. etc. The surface is water proof and tough as nails, but still bens easilly like cloth. You have to make sure to keep the cloth tight and without bubble as you apply it, but it is a simple process, akin to recovering a chair seat or stretching a canvas. YOU CAN DO IT! For the full step by step, you can see my tutorial on Houzz RIGHT HERE!
