Quick Folding Table Updo

When I saw this idea on Pinterest, I did a headdesk. I can't believe how simple it is, and somehow I couldn't think of it myself.

I have an ugly old card table that was in dire need of this makeover. Well, a couple of weeks ago, I finally had the chance to do it. I was visiting a JoAnn fabric store with my mother, when I just happened to wander down their fall clearance isle. I wasn't even looking for one at the time, but I found a pretty vinyl tablecloth for 70% off, making the sale price about two dollars. I just love when things work out like that! That evening I went straight to work redoing my table top:

Yucky table!

Phase One: Remove Top

Phase Two: Remove Tablecloth from Package

PHASE THREE: ?

(Seriously, though, I don't know why I don't have any photos of me stapling the tablecloth on the tabletop, but that's what happened next.)

Phase Four: PROFIT!

It took me about an hour to complete this, and approximately forty-five minutes of that was me trying to find a screwdriver, staple gun, and staples at my parents' house. But now I have a pretty, new table! Thanks, Pinterest!
