DIY Ombre Stump Side Table
Lately, we've been looking to add a new touch to our home, and one of these DIY Ombre Stump Side Tables does the job perfectly!
Cost: $30
Equipment
- Sandpaper
- Scrub brush
Ingredients
- 1 wooden stump
- 1 spray polyurethane in a matte finish
- 1 gold spray paint optional
Instructions
- First and foremost, snag yourself a few free stumps.You can do this by checking your local Craigslist, newspaper, or ad bulletin, or you can go trek the forest if you’d like.Most people are giving it away to whoever will pick it up, and in this case, that’s you.
- Once you’ve picked your stumps, give them a good brush to get all of the excess pieces and dirt off. You can even wipe them down if you need to.
- Sand them down to the desired finish and smoothness that you’d like.
- Now that you’ve sanded them, turn them upside down and spray paint the bottoms a color of your choice, fading it upwards.
- Once the color is dry, flip them over and give them a few coats of polyurethane so that the wood will hold up to wear a tear a bit better.
Notes
Try and find stumps that already have the bark removed and are cut as close to level as possible to that you don’t need to do anything other than sand the rough parts down a bit.
