I did this table last year during the school holidays. Takes about 3 weeks for me to finish it up :s
Its actually easy but it takes a lot of work, patience and time :)
Hope you like it!

  1. Step 1

    Step 1

    I got a plain white table from Ikea.

  2. Step 2

    Step 2

    Get a duct tape and measure the width. Mine here is 3.5cm


  3. Step 3

    Step 3

    Take the measurement and mark on the length of the duct tape (to make sure you get a SQUARE) over and over again until you have enough.

    Cut it out

  4. Step 4

    Lastly, stick it on the table and
    VOILA! You get a checkered table!

    :D
