How to Make a Unique and Beautiful Glass Top Side Table

We redecorated our family room with four side chairs and two side tables for the same price we were originally going to pay for two brand name reclining chairs. We visited off price department stores that have small furniture selections for our chairs and made our own side tables.

Things You'll Need

  • A large decorative wide mouth urn or vase.
  • A pre-cut 24 inch round or square glass table top.
  • Sticky glue dots found in a craft store.
  • One inch round plastic suction cups also found in a craft store.

Instructions

    • 1

      Find a decorative urn or large vase either at your off-price department store or local import store that stands between 20-24 inches high. See the pictures for good examples of the type of vase we used.

    • 2

      Buy a 24 inch round or square table top. We got ours at our local import store that was already made for table tops. It is about 1/2 inch thick tempered glass.

    • 3

      Place sticky dots on the rim of the vase -- use about four space equally around the rim. Then place the suction cups on the sticky glue dots, suction cup facing up.

    • 4

      Center you glass top over the suction cups and press down firmly. Your table is ready to use!
