DIY Craft Table
Back in May, I shared a post about a Kindergarten Display Board and I had alot of comments on my craft desk. I thought I would share it with you today and the details on how my hubby put it together for me.
I got the inspiration and some of the directions over at Ana White, here is her version of the table.
We just made ours a little bit narrower {only two rows of cubbies} so that it fit better in my craft room/office.
We just picked up two of these Cube Cubbies from Menards for around
$30 and a piece of wood for the top of the table.
All we {I say we but really my hubby did all the work} had to do was assemble the Cubes, cut the wood to the proper size and put some Poly on the top to keep it shiny and nice.
Here is a side view of the cubbies, I need to find some cute baskets that match, but for now this works.
A view of the table top.
All of my tools that I use regularly.
This little guy is so handy! I have my tools, markers and paint pens in separated into them.
You can find one of these at Ikea.
This lazy suzan caddy is really hand! I have some bakers twine, hole punches, tape runners and my different Washi tape in here. I found this guy at Home Goods.
This little sign is just perfect for my room! It was a free printable from THIS website.
I love this craft desk for many reasons.
It is small enough that it fits nicely against a wall in my little office.
I love the storage on the sides,
I have lots of room to organize my craft supplies.
The height is perfect, I can sit at my stool or stand comfortably and work.
Plus, it’s super cute and I love the having a space to leave my projects out and not have to worry about cleaning them off my desk or kitchen table when I’m not finished.
And, it was pretty inexpensive.
May I ask where you got the piece of wood for the top? I’m working on a craft table and I’m having a hard time finding one large piece of solid wood I can cut down to size and make it look exactly like yours since I love it so much.
Hi Ann, The wood was found at Menards! Thanks so much for stopping by. I hope when your table is completed you stop back and tell us all about it!
Looking for what the 3 cup hanging thing holding your markers is called. Trying to find it on ikea LOL
I just looked and cannot find the exact cups that I have, here is a similar one http://www.ikea.com/us/en/catalog/products/20219738/ and you would buy the bar separately to hang them on. I hope that helps a little. Sorry!
How did you secure the top to the cubbies?
Plan on making one soon
I love this table. I am planning on making a breakfast bar, but am concern about how much weight the cubbies can bear. Is there any indication about how much weight the cubbies can bear? Thank you!

Stopping by from Life After Laundry to say hello. I am in love with this table. I love your craft area, so cute. So glad to meet another crafty mom.
I love this … It sounds like it will cheaper for me to do this with my 2 waist high small book shelves. I was going to get a sewing table from my son and daughter-in-law for my birthday coming up… I've changed my mind now they can get me a board instead… ha-ha… they will get a big laugh when i tell them i want a piece of wood instead of a new sewing table…. LOL I'm all for saving money and i know they need to also, they love to get a good deal Anywhere they can… I love yours table… tell your man i said Good Job !..
I love this table! And it doesn't look too tough for someone as clutzy as me to make! Thanks so much for sharing! Found you through the GFC Hop 🙂
Great idea!!
What a wonderful desk Chrissy! You must use it all the time! I love how you used the cubes to get more storage! Have a wonderful week! Angie xo
I have been wanting to make one of these for a long time in our computer room. I just need to get the supplies and do it instead of just thinking about it.
such a great idea— thinking that this would be great for my homeschool room! Pinning!
Beautiful—LOVE it! One day I want one of these when I finally have space:)
LOVE IT!! And it seems like such a do-able project.
I putting together a craft area right now. I think I need one of these
Looks great! Enjoy your new desk!
