Showcase your shells and beach treasure in a great DIY display table.
If you can't find the right Display Table to Purchase, get creative and make your very own one-of-a-kind display table! There are many ways you can make a display table for your shells and beach collections. For example, you can turn any Tray Top Side Table (Wayfair) into a display table by simply adding a glass top to it. Then, you can transform pieces such as benches, bird baths, planter pots, small boats, and other items into display tables with a glass top as well. Some DIY display table ideas require a base. You might also want to look for a cute display table in local thrift stores or antique stores.
Here you see a Printer Tray that was turned into a table top for an iron base table. These trays have many compartments which allow you to organize your shells easily. Via My Home Ideas, featured on Glass Display Coffee Table Ideas.
