Our kids love to build with LEGOs. We wanted to give them a place to build and display their creations so we made these awesome tables! You can build this table for under $30, using a table you can get at IKEA.
Supplies:
- 1 Ikea LACK table (or similar table) ($7.99)
- 4 10" x 10" LEGO baseplates ($20.00)
- E6000 glue (available at craft stores) ($2.50)
- T-square
- tape measure
- pencil or marker
Steps:
- Determine the the width of the border around the baseplates. In our case there was a 13/16" border all the way around. Measure to find the center of the table and mark in both directions.
- Apply glue to the back of the baseplate and to the quadrant of the table where it will be glued down. Wait 2 minutes. NOTE: For best results, you should rough up the table's surface. We did not do this on our table because of the finish.
- Now place the t-square along the line you drew and adhere the baseplate to the table.
- Repeat with the second baseplate.
- Adhere the third baseplate, using the t-square to help align the edge.
- Finally, adhere the fourth baseplate.
- Allow the glue to cure for 24-72 hours before using the table.

I would recommend adding a slight boarder on three sides to help keep the pieces on the table rather than the floor. Nice idea!
