Materials:
A large pot (go with something plastic so it's not too heavy)
Glass top
Filler (I went with rocks but again it's up to you)
Wood panel
Extras:
This is the part that took so long to finish. My pot wasn't as tall as I wanted to I grabbed a circular panel and 4 little chair legs... table legs... sorry, I'm not exactly sure what they are.
My pot |
My rocks - I found a huge bag at Garden Ridge for $6 |
My glass top. It took a while to find a piece the right size. I finally found it at Hobby Lobby. Used a 40% coupon and scored it for about $15. |
Here are the extra pieces I bought to give the table some height. |
Sorry it's blurry. I marked off where I wanted to screw in the little table legs |
I predrilled some holes |
Screwed in the legs |
I spray painted the base. |
Filped the pot over and aligned the base |
Screwed the base into the bottom of the pot. I also ran a line of epoxy along the bottom of the pot for extra strength. |
Flipped the pot (and base) upright. I placed my panel inside the pot and dumped in my filler. |
I also purchased some little plastic sticky cushions so the glass doesn't rub on the top of the pot. |
I'm thinking I might have to switch it out for wine corks in the near future. |
