This coffee table I got for free on the side of the road. Cost of all the supplies is approximately $8-$10. Cost of time: 20-25 hours to make this project.
Step one: paint the table

Finished painting it! One layer of primer painted on. Then sprayed a can of white on top.

Step 2: Lay out all the letters that I cut out from the circut and decide how I want the table to look.


Step 3: Out line all the stencils and start hand painting!

Step 4: After you paint it all then take sand paper and distress the table a bit and the table legs.

Step 5: Wipe the table down and spray it with clear mat spray paint to protect the table!


It turned out EXACTLY as I wanted it to. These are all places I lived or visited in Costa Rica plus "Pura vida", the most common saying in Costa Rica. And also I snuck in the word love in Spanish - amor.
This is great - I might have to borrow this idea !
