How to do?
1. Take an old window frame and clean it from dust and dirt. If the old glass is cracked, new, paste, then get rid of the layer of old paint and finish off the surface with sandpaper. Then you need to remove metal parts, which are additionally fixed frame parts.
2. Cover the frame with white enamel or acrylic paint. If you chose acrylic paint, after drying, treat it with emery to fly out of the wood so the table will look aged, giving it a special sophisticated look. You can also use the two colors by selecting the white-blue scheme. First, paint the frame with blue paint, and after drying the first layer – cover white. When dry a second coat, RUB his sandpaper – then from under the white paint will act as blue.

6. Then, using long screws to attach each leg to the base.
7. Next you need to attach the legs to the frame with screws. The window frame is a “box” in which will need to fold all imported from the rest of the seafood – the front part of the frame, which stands on the legs will be facing the floor down.
8. Now you will need a rough thin rope, which will need to braid each leg. Secure the rope using glue gun.
9. Now you need to wash and degrease the glass on both sides. On – to pick and place on the glass “gifts of the sea”. Lay them so that it seemed like they were carelessly scattered and flow from one corner of the table to the other and their number should gradually decrease.

10. You will need to order in the glass workshop of glass with a thickness of 4 mm. glass Size should be such that, based on the frame, it could cover the “box”. Thus on each side of the 1.5 -2 cm frame must be open. In the workshop you need to ask to the edges of the glass are treated and drilled in these holes 4 mm in diameter. Glass need to wipe and cover them to the table. Leather or thin rubber cut gaskets that are under the washers. Using screws, secure the glass. Install them carefully so as not cracked glass.
11. Take the rough thick rope and make one end of the line, which is equal to half the length of the table. Using glue gun, glue the rope folded in half from the center of the long side of the table to its edge. The loop itself (about 12-15 cm) glue is not necessary – it should be free to after you tie the knot. “Skirting” around the perimeter of the glass and around all the corners, keep sticking to it long end of the rope. When you get to the loop, you need to pass in her end of the rope so that you got a reef knot. Now, stretching the rope in the opposite direction, it is necessary to stick.
