I transformed my old garden table with a bargain buy – people say it looks great but don’t make the same mistake as me
A CRAFTY DIY enthusiast has revealed how to give your old garden table a new life – and a mistake to avoid.
TikTok user Jes Rose shared the incredible transformation on TikTok, where she made the grotty furniture look brand new with vinyl.
Before the glow-up, the glass table was covered in dust, rust and gross spider webs, Jes showed in the video.
”I thought it had no life left in it.”
But after a bit of cleaning with water – and a dose of inspiration – the savvy woman came up with an idea and decided to grab a piece of vinyl.
The botanical vinyl came with a jungle theme and leopard print in rich green colours, a sample of which will set you back by a mere £3.
Jes, who runs a business, also offers other prints and sizes to choose from, and you can find the best pick for either a standard vinyl, floor and wall vinyl or window vinyl.
Prices start from just £3 – but the larger sizes, such as their 3m x 65cm – retail for £63.
According to the whizz, the application process is easy too and you can use a card to push it down.
Sharing the process, Jes warned others: ”I probably made a mistake by applying this on one of the hottest days of the year.
”When you do that, it gets bubbles like no tomorrow.”
However, once she had applied the product and cut off any excess from the edges, the DIY fan pierced a few teeny holes in the bubbles and simply pushed the air out.

”I probably should’ve applied this indoors – or waited until it was a little bit cooler outside.
”But how amazing does it look? I am so happy with it,” Jes was all chuffed with the £22 makeover.
Fellow social media users were just as amazed, as dozens flocked to comments to praise the craft lover.
”Ahhh I’m gona do that looks fab [sic[,” wrote someone who was inspired to give the trick a go.
Another added: ”Ok I’m definitely doing this.”
”I was just going to take my table to the tip!” someone else penned.
Meanwhile, a fourth advised: ”can I make a suggestion next time don’t dry the glass put the vinyl on wet with water and washing up liquid. then push bubbles out.”
”I’ve got a table like this and was wondering how to revive it. thanks great idea!” a TikTok fan said.
