Step 2
Flip the tray of table upside down.
Step 3
Slowly attach the contact paper to the tray until the top surface is completely covered.
Tip: Do small areas at a time to avoid large bubbles from forming.
Step 4
Cut any excess paper around the tray.
Step 5
Use a ruler or credit card to smooth out any small bubbles.
Step 6
Place the tray onto the spray-painted legs with the marble side showing (upside down)
Another alternative for this table hack would be to paint the entire table top gold and add the contact paper, so the side of the table is also gilded.
