Adding a planchette to your coffee table is a great way to enhance the aesthetic of your room and to actually use the board. If you’re ready to take this project on, here’s how to build a wood planchette for your ouija board coffee table.
Steps
- Gather Your Materials: To make your planchette, you’ll need wood, screws, nails, a saw, sandpaper, a drill, paint, and paint brushes.
- Cut the Wood Base: Measure out the size of the base you want to use and carefully cut it with a saw. Use your sandpaper to smooth all the edges of the cut wood.
- Assemble the Wheels and Pedestal:Use the saw to cut four small triangular wheels and a small square pedestal. Connect the wheels to the base and grow the pedestal to the center of the base with screws and nails. Make sure everything is tightly attached.
- Paint the Planchette: Choose the colors you want to use for your planchette and start painting. To add a bit of style, we recommend creating a custom design on the planchette before applying the colors.
Bonus Tips
- For extra flair, consider adding some decorations, or even glitter, to your planchette.
- Make sure the wood is properly sanded before you start painting to ensure that the colors come out well.
- Before using the planchette, make sure all the pieces are securely attached to avoid it coming apart while playing.
Creating a planchette for your ouija board coffee table is an easy and fun project that will create an immersive atmosphere in your home. With the right materials, a bit of time, and some patience, you’ll have an excellent addition to your ouija board-inspired coffee table.
