How to Make a Dollhouse Table

Whether the table holds a Thanksgiving feast or the afternoon mail, a table is at the center of a room. From an elaborately carved dining room heirloom piece to a simple side table, the types of tables are as varied as their functions. You can purchase beautifully crafted centerpiece tables or you can create your own, throwing a simple table cloth over the top to hide any flaws.

Instructions

Wooden table

1

Cut a piece of wood to 2 by 6 inches. Cut four legs to 3 inches high, two table supports measuring 1-1/2 inches and two more table supports measuring 5 inches. Sand until smooth, especially the table top.

2

Glue the two 1-1/2 inch supports to the two 5 inch support pieces into a rectangle. Let dry completely.

3

Center the support to the bottom of the table top, glue securely and let dry completely.

4

Attach the legs by gluing each of the four legs to the inside of the corner supports. Let dry.

5

Stain your table, allowing it to dry between coats. Add a layer of sealer.

6

Add a flower arrangement, table runner, plates, silverware and glasses to the table.

Side Tables

7

Use a pizza support (that comes on top of your delivery pizza to prevent the lid from touching the pizza) as a small table. Cover the support with a small piece of fabric to be used as a tablecloth.

8

Utilize a spool of thread as a side table, covering with a piece of fabric to mimic as a decorator table.

9

Cut down the legs of a regular size dollhouse table in order to create a low coffee table. If a table is damaged, this is a great way to reuse it.

10

Stack three matchboxes together, gluing them together. Wrap a piece of wood grained paper around the stack. Paper the front of the drawers as well, adding a tiny brad as a pull to each drawer. This makes a great side table with drawers to be used as a bedside table.
