One of a kind custom coffee table

Do you like to collect jewelry, rocks, foreign coins? This one of a kind coffee table project is easy to do and will get lots of compliments.

You will need:

one ROUND particle board table
Rocks, Junk jewelry, sea shells, etc.
Iron on veneer edging
1 to 2 gallons of “Pour- on”
Colored Fish Aquarium rocks

Purchase a ROUND unfinished CHEAP particle board table. The kind you see at larger retail stores that show a picture of a cloth over it, and 3 bags of Aquarium rocks.
Next go to your local hardware store and buy iron on wood veneer edging that comes in a roll and a gallon of “pour on” (Buy two if you have a big table)
Find a well vented area and glue on your edging with an iron. Next lay a layer of aquarium rocks on the bottom and then gently arrange your collectibles lightly on top. Then mix the pour on according to directions and pour over. Let it set according to directions for 24-48 hours.

Note: Do not use anything of great value as the items will be PERMANENTLY SEALED
Make sure your items are not too tall (higher than your edging as they will not be covered by the “Pour on”.
I use pretty rocks or Junk jewelry.
