Backwards WFMW - Craft Area
I like to do a lot of different kinds of crafts but being a young married couple living in an apartment, we don't have a lot of space. We are about to move into a place with a spare bedroom so I can make a little bit of room there, but it will probably also end up being the office, random crap extra storage spot, hamster home and occasional guest bed-(or blow up mattress) room, so I can't completely take it over. I also don't have a lot of money to spend on a fancy craft table. I was thinking I could probably find a cheap card table at a garage sale but the tops are too soft to be good for a lot of crafts. I also have a chunk of plywood and I was trying to think of a good way to use that as a solid surface but it is prone to giving me splinters. See why I need your help? It's another Backwards WFMW so tell me what works for you! Any ideas would be much appreciated? I don't mind having to be creative to get it to work.

wow! It's amazing how similar our spare bedroom is! Mine is a home to a hedgehog, extra storage room, and soon an inflatable bed for guests.
ReplyDeleteI too, want some sort of craft table. This summer, I was rummage saling and I found a good size table, it had three drawers right under the top and room for a chair to fit underneath. I would have purchased it, but right now I don't have room for it.
You could try something like that, it would give you a little extra storage and it wouldn't take up too much room.
Good luck!
i say use the kitchen table for crafting and eat in front of the tv.
ReplyDeletebut that's just me. it's probably not the best idea.
you can still try garage sales, i found a pretty nice wood desk that is around 2.5' x 3' for $10 and I've used it for modeling and drafting! Or there is stuff called chipboard (its densly compacted scraps of cardboard i think) that they sell at hobby lobby/michaels, and if you get a sheet of that (2 ply thickness) its a nice smooth surface, but you can still cut on it. Those run about 8 bucks and are around 36" x 48" maybe. :) But ive used that to put on top of bad tables and it works great!
ReplyDeleteHey, Target has a Banquet Folding Table for $29! Plenty of workspace, but also easily moved. Which would mean when I come for a visit I have a place to eat, and room to sleep. Woohoo!
ReplyDeleteSigh...if only we had a target.
ReplyDeleteEver heard of on-line shopping? :)
