Vom Couchtisch zum Brettspiel

"Lucky Boy" is the name of the funny board game painted on the little table. The discarded coffee table is thus brought back to life and at the same time finds its new place in the children's room as a cheerful, colourful table.

So your discarded coffee table becomes a gaming table:

For this idea we used a table with a top in the size of 67 x 67 cm.

Prepare the table by sanding it and then remove the sanding dust with a damp cloth from The table top is now primed white and painted may green when dry. This is particularly easy to do on large surfaces and is done evenly with a foam roller or a surface brush.

Tip: As an alternative to an old table, you can also use a square plywood board or a Stretched Canvas .

Paint the outer edges of the table, the table legs and an approx. 1.5 cm wide edge around the table green and allow to dry thoroughly

The playing field is divided with a pencil and a long ruler into 8 x 8 squares, the corner squares are each painted in a different color, they are the starting fields in the game. The borders of the squares are then painted with a 1 mm wide permanent paint Marker follow up.

Cut out napkin motifs and remove the two unprinted layers of paper. Spray the motif layer from behind with masking glue and let it flash off briefly. Then glue it on the board. Then seal the complete game board with Napkin varnish .

Game pieces

Prime the figure cones and wooden boards white. After drying, glue the wooden boards to the bevel of the figure cones. Paint the curvature of the boards with red Handicraft paint and apply white dots after drying

Border the glued area with the 1 mm wide liner and paint the faces on. Trace the contours of the dots and draw in the mushroom lamellae. Finally, paint an approx. 2 cm wide foot in the colours of the starting fields and border it with the Fineliners .

And this is how it is played
