Super easy card table re-do. 
 
 
My mom gave me the card table because it was my grandma's and instead of pitching it because it has holes, stains and was simply taking up space in my basement, I decided to re-cover it to make it usable again.
 
What you'll need:
Old card table
Screw driver
Adhesive
Table cloth
Spray paint to match the table cloth
 
 
What you'll need to do:
1. Turn the card table over and un-screw the table from the legs.
2. Cut the table cloth so there is about 5 inches around the perimeter.  I just tucked it under when I re-screwed the legs to the bottom which helps it stay in place along with the adhesive.
3. Attach the table cloth (I purchased mine from Walmart in the "summer" section for about $3) to the flat table piece using adhesive. (I used 3M Spray Adhesive.) I also glued the extra onto the back around the edges.
4. Let that dry for a day or however long the adhesive recommends.
5. Spray paint the table legs (I had to do 4-5 coats to completely cover.)
6. Re-attach the legs to the newly covered table cloth by simply using the screws and holes already there.
