What you need

Directions

  1. Directions:
    What you need24" Wood RoundLazy Susan Hardware (at any Home improvement store)(4) 1/4" - 1/2" ScrewsScrew DriverHot GlueMartha Stewart Wood StainWood PaintUV Clear Spray paintStencilsFelt
    Instructions
  2. Stain your wood round and let dry. I used the new Martha Stewart wood stains and they were awesome! They come in a squeeze bottle now so there is no mess. (These little things make me sooooo happy!)
  3. Usine your stencils, carefully stencil each letter. If you are stenciling words like I did, you will want to have some of your words hang off the edge. Once dry, coat with a UV clear spray.
  4. Hot glue a square piece of felt to the bottom of your lazy susan hardware so it doesn't scratch your table.
  5. Using a screw driver screw the lazy susan hardware to the center of your wood lazy susan.
    Tips:I found that Home Depot only offered two sizes of wood rounds, but my Ace Hardware store had multiple sizes and very nice wood in addition to cheap plywood.
