Materials:
- 2 pcs. IKEA bread bins
- furniture paint, the color of your choice
- furniture wax
- table legs
- wood glue
- cutter
- masking tape
- paintbrush
Directions:
Step 1
To start, remove the bottom part of the IKEA bread bins using a cutter. Next, start painting your bread bins with the furniture paint (color of your choice), taping the parts you don’t want paint on. After this, let everything dry completely.

Step 2
Once dried, seal the paint with some furniture wax. Now, using wood glue, attach both bread bins together on the bottom part to form the bedside table. (You can drill some metal support at the back for extra support.) Next, attach the brackets underneath, then put on the legs. Your DIY bedside table is now finished! Place it beside your bed or even couch.
