As-is item in IKEA turns into a luxe tray table

So I found this IKEA GLADOM tray table in the bargains section in IKEA and all sorts of ideas came into my head. I’ve been looking for a side table for a while but couldn’t seem to find one that I loved. So I thought to myself, if this works, awesome! If not, I didn’t lose too much money!

Hack instructions for luxe tray table

Make sure your table is clean and remove all stickers.

Spray paint the bottom part gold and the tray black. I did it outside. First, I spray painted one side and after a few hours did the second making sure the coats completely dried in between.

Next, I applied the sticker to the tray. First, wipe your table clean. I started at one end and slowly smoothed it till the other end.

The sticker is 30×80 cm, so it is longer and narrower than the table. So I applied it in 3 parts. (I just realized I could have just done it in 2 halves 😅)

Use your knife or cutter to cut around the edges and remove excess.

This only took a few hours and the end result looks amazing.

The trickiest part is the sticker. Make sure u smooth it out really well and make sure the edges are all stuck till the end before u cut it.

Hope you like it.
