weekly diy: road sign coffee table


Tired of going through coffee tables like tic-tacs? Me too, and after pulling a third Chris Farley on your glass Pier One table, consider something a little....hmm...less expensive. I give you the road sign coffee table.

Find two cardboard boxes (preferably one that's ~ 24"x24"x16", and the other ~ 16"x16"x4". Those numbers are completely arbitrary, btw). Fill each box with Styrofoam. Get a roll or two of duct tape, and tape those bad boys together, in a nice, even manner. Take some more duct tape, roll up a few pieces to make it double-sided, and slap the road sign on top. Bada bing, bada bang, bada boom. You have yourself a coffee table.

Materials needed: two cardboard boxes, duct tape, stolen road sign.

Tools needed: none.

Total out of pocket: $3.95
