DIY Upcycled Kids' Sand Box 01:19
Kids will love this sand box table made from an old sink and coffee table.
Step 1
Clean the Sink
Scrub the sink to get it ready for paint.
Step 2
Prime
Spray the sink with a coat of primer.
Step 3
Determine Sink Placement
Mark the cut lines on the tabletop to fit the sink. You may find it easier to lay the sink upside-down on the table and trace around the edges. Just remember, you’ll have to cut inside the lines.
Step 4
Start the Hole With a Drill
Start cutting the tabletop by drilling a hole just inside your marked lines.
Step 5
Cut Hole in Tabletop
Insert the jigsaw blade into the hole you just drilled and then cut around the inside of your marked lines.
Step 6
Sand the Edges Clean
Use sandpaper to smooth out the cut edges.
Step 7
Paint the Table
If desired, cover the table in a fresh coat of paint.
Step 8
Paint Sink
Paint the top of the sink to match the table. Allow both the sink and table to dry.
Step 9
Stop Up the Sink
Fit the sink drain holes with stoppers.
Step 10
Fill With Sand and Call the Kids
Pour sand in the sink and get the kids a bucket and shovel.
