I just got a very messy tulip table for my apartment and THIS video is the ONLY helpful video on RUclips....so, I'm going to be following in your footsteps!
Glad you find it helpful! My only tip now having done this a while ago, would be to make the top smooth and not textured! It will be easier to keep clean. Best of luck in your project!!
How has it held up after a year? Any chipping, or does sealing it stop that? I was having a debate earlier with my dad he doesn't think it will hold up or even stick
Hi! It’s held up great. I will say the one thing I wish I did differently was make the top completely smooth by sanding so it would be easier to clean. The texture allows for dirt/grime/whatever to get stuck in the tiny holes. But otherwise I love it 🥰
Love it 😍 I just made a plaster coffee table and should have used the joint compound. The plaster of Paris dry mix was very messy and hard to work with but still came out great 🤗
I made a night stand with plaster of paris and you are right it was super messy and dried so fast but it was fun to make! does the join compound chip/flake a lot or did you get a good seal and hold?
@@mylifeasjessio I haven’t had any issues with it cracking, chipping, or flaking off. It bonds really well! I always seal it with primer + paint for higher traffic use projects.
Joint compound is water soluble so that’s why you need to seal it with paint! And then you’re just dealing with a painted surface so I used semi gloss which is easier to wipe down.
So, my (and I found out most) premixed drywall compound reactivated ands softens with water or humidity. Have you had any issues with this since making this?
No it’s been totally fine and I think it’s bc I’ve sealed it with paint and it’s indoors. My main issue is actually wishing I had made it completely smooth on top rather than textured. I will probably have to smooth it out at some point since it’s just hard to clean right now!
@@stephyoungren well, awesome! Thanks for the reply. I am trying to get a stucco texture on a bathroom cabinet. I tried wetting my joint compound and it just wiped right off so I think I'm going with the old Liquitex ceramic stucco medium I have. That held up just fine. Thanks for the tip about the top. I was wondering what I was going to do for that so I guess I am going to try something besides the texture 👌😃
The joint compound is water soluble so would need to be sealed with paint and I think if you used outdoor paint it could work? But not entirely sure. Sorry!
Thanks! I chose a semi gloss paint thats easily washable. If I would do this again, I’d actually make the top as smooth as possible. The texture is the hardest part to keep clean.

Great video. Easy to see the intention, and I like this effect!
I think you could have used a gloved hand to add the joint compound to those hard to cover curves

Thank you! Ah I see. The joint compound is really easy to work with. I love plaster, but it definitely requires more work.

@@stephyoungren good to know. thanks! i'm going to make a few more things :)
@@mylifeasjessio It didn’t flake for me, I will say just a little spot. But I did use some drywall tape to help stick to the surface.
How does it handle moisture and being wiped with a wet rag? When I joint compounded my pot planter, the water destroyed it, making it crumble. Thanks

How has it held up? Considering this for my giant table.
Held up great. My only regret is not making the top as smooth as possible for cleaning purposes. Otherwise I'm still in love with the result.

@@FIZZGIG-RARF oh I see, yes joint compound is water soluble so it has to be sealed! Best of luck on your project!
This is so cute!
Thanks, Mindy!
Would something like this hold up outdoors or am I crazy for even suggesting that?

Hello ! Really nice look ! You didnt apply any top coat, so how do you deal with stains etc ? Thank you :)))

@@stephyoungren thanks thats so helpful ! Love
You can sand the joint compound.
Yes, you can
Or you can buy the docksta table top at ikea for $80
Lol
You should use plaster so it doesn’t get ruined when it gets wet
I sealed it with 2 coats or primer and 2 coats of paint so it’s held up great!
I think it would’ve been easier to just paint it white
Easier? Sure! But less texture and that’s what I was going for :) I could see a high gloss paint looking really nice for a more modern look.
Just buy a new one. Much cheaper.
It’s actually not cheaper to buy a new one 😂
Fuq did I just watch? She made it exactly the same
Lol
looks horrible
