This project is 25 inches tall, 20 inches wide and 20 inches deep. The wood table will be made in advance and you can stain it as shown or paint it a different color. It features a heavy duty 4 1/2 gallon metal bucket, too! If you would like, you can choose one of the sayings shown to put on the bottom part of the table – it is $15 additional to do that. If you want the magnetic bottle opener, that is an additional $5. (Maximum cost of $95 if you would like it with a painted message and the beer opener, otherwise just $75 for the table painted/stained however you like with the bucket.)
This will be a fun class! Jessica Taylor will teach this class on Monday, June 10 at 6 pm. Fee will include all of your supplies, instruction, snacks, and drinks. You can choose from 30 different sayings for the bottom part. Just let me know what one you prefer from the photo.
Payment for this project is due by May 21st so we can have them ready for people wanting to do this for a Father’s Day gift. You can pay with cash, check or Venmo using the name @Allison-Volcic. For the memo, please put REIMBURSE FOR TABLE. Kits are also available for an additional five dollars due to the time and extra supplies needed for packaging. Hope to see you there!
