When Matthew was about a year or so old, I got him a Little Tikes table and chairs for like eating and stuff. I got it at a garage sale for like $3; it wasn't perfect but it suited our needs. After 4 years, 3 moves and 3 kids including the Desctructor named Alexander (who decided it needed a little more color) it was a little worse for wear. It was still useful, just horrible looking, so I didn't know what to do. After seeing some people on Pinterest decoupaging small things, it hit me, why not on a larger scale? So I dug out all of my scrap John Deere fabric that I had left over from when I made all of his bedroom stuff and went to it.
The crayon would NOT come off!
I used spray adhesive to attach the fabric to the table, Modge Podge to seal up any seams and the top for a durable/cleanable surface.; then sprayed the whole thing with acrylic sealer. The chairs were also colored all over, but too hard to cover, so I cleaned them up as best I could. Since they were already yellow, they worked great for the JD theme!
Here's the finished product!
Here are the boys enjoying their "new" table!
Goes great with the curtains!

How has your table held up? Not covering with vinyl is so much easier, but I just wonder about the durability. Thanks for the inspiration!
