Legos on tableOur 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:

  1. 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.
  2. finding center

  3. 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.
