This DIY Etch-a-Sketch coffee table is NOT your average IKEA furniture piece.
Did you grow up tinkering with a toy Etch-a-Sketch? Did you create masterpieces (or just terrible squiggle portraits), just to have them shaken away? Then buckle your nostalgia belts: this DIY project is going to transport you to the good ol' days — if the good ol' days were a heck of a lot more badass.
The mastermind behind the project, Caleb Kraft, built this table/game/conversation piece with magnets and bearings to create sand art. Just like the lovable kids toy — you shake the table, and the art disappears.
Check out the overview of Kraft's (even his name sounds DIY!) impressive project:
Of course, a project of this magnitude takes a ton of planning, tool wielding and know-how. If you really want to make your own DIY Etch-a-Sketch table, watch Kraft's comprehensive four-part guide. He takes you through the steps and even points out what he could have done better!
