How to make a tutu table and vanity mirror

So I have pretty much been steadily pinning things on pinterest like a madwoman. Particularily, adorable things for my little girl. Once upon a time, I bought this amazing little Peter Pan table for my boys. It was adorable, with crafted original artwork. 2 years later, I found it trashed in my backyard by my boisterous boys and the top of it had been completely ripped off. I was sad that this chapter had to end. But I put it in the back corner of my garage thinking that maybe someday I would do something cool with it.

                                           
My daughter Liv just turned 2 and has become obsessed with princesses. I wanted to do something special for her, besides the usual toys. So I dug through a handful of my favorite pinterest pictures and decided to do a mash up of a tutu-skirted nightstand, and a deco-pauged table I saw. These pictures were my inspiration:

 So I dragged my old, dirt-ridden playtable and scrubbed it raw. After that, I spraypainted it white (first a base coat, then a second coat.) After it was all spray painted white, I started cutting scraps of fabric into squares (kinda like fat quarters for quilting). I also added a 49 cent piece of pink sparkly scrapbook paper to the mix, and decopaged the top of the table. Over the course of a few days, I would add a top layer of decopage glue each day to make the top of the table scratch resistent and spill-proof. Next it was time for step two: tulle. I hit up Joanne's with an online coupon and bought 8 yards of tulle fabric. It ended up being about $10.

I'd love to say that I am an amazing tool wielder, but sadly I am not. So I enlisted my husband to help me use the staple gun. I bunched up sections at the bottom and stapled all the way around. When it was evenly distributed, I cut the bottom to be just above the floor line (so little legs to get caught in it). Next I took a can of sparkle hairspray I had from Halloween and added a little glitz to the tulle. Just enough to shimmer.

After I finished the table up, I went to work on the chairs, painting them white and then decopaging the seat with some more pink scrapbook paper I bought. Then I used the eraser side of pencil and dipped it in pink paint to write her name on the back of the chair.

But somehow, it still felt like I needed a mirror to make the vanity complete. So my mother in law brought her mirror she had been storing and graciously let me paint it pink (3 coats). Then I sprayed it with a shiny finish to give it the glitzy look. I also added bling that I hot glued all around the edges of the mirror, and then hot glued die-cuts of the disney princesses I had bought at Michaels ($4). Then I took a crown that I bought at the dollar store, and evenly cut the back part out so that it wouldn't be top heavy and fall over. And I hot glued that to the top.

At the end, I made a totally unique vanity table for $20! And this is what it looked like:
