Make a Barbie Coffee Table

Having a full sized Barbie? Then why not transform it into something fun and stylish like a Barbie Coffee Table? Here’s how:

Cut down the Plywood
Using a table saw or hand saw, cut your plywood into two pieces. Cut one piece into a 12 by 12 square and the other into two sections that are 11.5 by 12.
Glue the Pieces Together
Using wood glue, glue the two 11.5 by 12 pieces together, creating a 12 by 24 section. Then glue the 12 by 12 piece on top of the 12 by 24 section.
Cut Out the Doll Shape
Position Barbie on the plywood and trace some light markings with a pencil where the doll will stand. Use a jigsaw to make a hole for the doll to fit in, then use a belt sander or sandpaper to make the edges smooth.
Apply Wood Stain
Using a foam brush and wood stain, apply a generous amount on the table. Allow it to sit for at least 15 minutes and then use a clean cloth to wipe off any excess.
Paint a Design on the Table
Using painter’s tape, create any design you want. Paint it with whatever colors you want using a small brush. Wait for the paint to completely dry before removing the tape.
Secure the Doll in Place
Place the doll in her cutout and secure her with a small hammer and nails. Make sure that the nails are below the surface of the wood.
