Give your living room a coastal makeover with this easy and affordable DIY hack from interior decorator Zoe Gilpin, aka The DIY Decorator. The unique and eye-catching side table may be made with only a few simple items, but it doesn’t lack style.
What you’ll need:
- Gorilla Epoxy
- Gorilla fabric glue
- Large PVC pipe
- 2 x round boards (chopping boards work well)
- White chunky rope
- Wadding
Instructions:
- To create the base, cut the PVC pipe to the required height of your table. Using Gorilla Epoxy, attach one of the round boards to each end. Allow to dry for 24 hours. Top tip: place a heavy object on the top board to help hold everything together.
2. To use less rope but still create that full centre look, wrap and glue a few layers of wadding to the pipe using Gorilla Fabric Glue.
3. Once dry, start winding the rope around the centre, securing it in place with more Fabric Glue. Ensure you are gluing the rope both to the middle section (wadding) and to the surrounding layers of rope so that there’s no movement. Cover the entire centre until your pipe/wadding is completely covered in rope.
4. Allow to dry for 24 hours and you’re done!
