The 35-year-old used a $38 plastic bin to create the base of the table after randomly spotting it while hunting for materials to help give the $10 second-hand table a fresh, new look.
“I walked up and down the aisles looking for something that could work as the base and in the end I spotted this bin and it completely surpassed my expectations.” She began by covering the bin with fibreglass joint tape to give the plaster something to adhere to. “The tape has a sort of grid pattern to it which gives a nice gritty texture for plaster. I simply cut the tape into strips and stuck on,” she explained.Ms Vanderzeil then plastered the bin working it on back and forth horizontally. To help create more of a cone shape she filled the small “lip” part at the bottom of with compound and smoothed it out.
Once the plaster was dry, she attached the base to the table top. she used two thick planks of wood and screwed them into the underside of the table.explaining how she put the impressive pedestool table together, Ms Vanderzeil said the key to a nice finish with this sort of tile is making sure each sheet lines up.Then covered it in gyprock, all purpose compound.

She then put grout over the tiles using her hands working in a circular motion and wiped off any excess grout with a sponge.
