Ikea Hack | How I Made My Cutting/Sewing and Crafting Table

- Hi Guys. I posted a picture of my table on instagram and several of you wanted to know how I did it. Here is a quick video on how I put it all together. Materials are listed below.
Most of these ideas for this table did not come from me. I got them off of Pinterest from different pins. I just wanted to say that so that everyone knows! LOL
You will need the following materials
Ikea Materials
2- 2 x 4 Kallax Units
go.magik.ly/ml/hnt1/
Fixya
go.magik.ly/ml/hnrz/
Lowes
1 -¾” thick plywood cut down to 30 ¾”x 57 7/8”
go.magik.ly/ml/hnt7/
1 - 36 x 80 hollow door
go.magik.ly/ml/hnsq/
5- 3” caster wheels with brakes 4 can have brakes and the one that goes in the middle doesn’t have to have a brake.
go.magik.ly/ml/hnte/
20 screws to screw in wheels
Walmart
Shelf Liner
go.magik.ly/ml/hntk/
Target
Alternative if you don’t have an IKEA near buy. These shelves are close in dimension to the ikea ones, but you would have to cut the plywood to a slightly different size to accodomate these shelves.

Be sure to use your coupons for Joann and Michaels purchases.
Joann
Ottlite - Not sure why this is so expensive now. I got mine for around 40.00!
go.magik.ly/ml/hnve/
Michaels
Ashland Storage Desktop Carousel
go.magik.ly/ml/hnvr/
Instructions.
Assembly the shelving units according to the directions that come with it.
Get plywood cut down to appropriate size.
Get your wheels you want to use and screw them into the plywood. Make sure your screws are not longer than ¾”. Attach one wheel on each corner of the plywood and one in the center of the plywood.
Cut sheets of the shelf liner and lay them on each end of the plywood.
Set both shelving units on the plywood butted up against each other.
Cut more sheets of shelf liners and put one sheet on each end of the shelving unit and one in the center of the shelving unit.
Place door on top of shelving unit and you are good to go.
Note: I did not stain my wooden door, but you most certainly can if you would like.

Jordan is a pumpkin. It’s wonderful to see how proud he is to help his mom.
I'm sure you know this but Jordan is adorable! So good of him to help you with projects.
What a great young man Jordan looks to be. Interested in what Mother does. Regards and success to you both from Australia.
Hi Amanda. Thank you!
Yes, so sweet, love Jordan’s initiative and handiness, and willingness to share in the video. Awesome way to worth together!
I agree 💯%! 💕
I like that you thought ahead and put a base of plywood on the bottom. Don’t see that often but it’s necessary for durability. Jordan and you did a wonderful job.
Such a great idea to add the shelf liners. I never would have thought of that.l Thank you for sharing ❤️
You are so welcome!
Jordan’s smile is infectious! I know you are proud of him.
Hi Patsy. You have my mom's name! Thanks so much for watching. I am very proud of this kid!
Good job Jordan for helping your Mom. The craft table looks great. Thanks for the tips.
What a gift to your son. Having that skill set is such a blessing.
Thank you for sharing, Jordan and Yolanda. Very nice. If I had the space, I'd use your idea. That is very cleaver and easy to make, yet I would not have thought of it.
Great idea on using a grip mat and using a hollow door for the top…And Jordan was such an awesome helper! Thanks for sharing 🙏
Great job Jordan. Keep up the good work. It's so cool that you are willing to help your Mom with her projects.
Thanks for sharing all the info at the bottom along with the video. Your Jordan is adorable. I have a 30 year old adorable Jordan as well.
This is exactly what I was looking for! Thank you so much for posting this video. Jordan looks just like you and is so adorable! So nice to help his mother with this project :)
Thank you!!
Me too!
Job well done guys! What a great relationship you and Jordan have and how fun to have been able to work together on this project. This table will be a workhorse for you and hold memories to last a lifetime. If I may say this, it's very nice to see a young boy/man growing up to be a fabulous man. Boys today have so many challenges and voices to listen to. My hats off to both of you.
Great project! Aren’t we lucky to have helpful young men in our lives! Thanks for sharing.
Love this so much ! Thank you very much for sharing your process of making it. The door counter top is a fabulous idea! So much needed counter space!
Thank you for this video. Love that your son helped you with your project!
just coming across this as I start to make a cutting table. your son is adorable and such a big help! what a sweetheart.
This is the best tutorial on building your own sewing table. Economical and not hard to put together. Love your channel. Mother and son duo is wonderful.
Love to see your son helping you!!! Go Jordan!!! You make us moms proud!!!! Wish you both many blessings.
Thank you. Im blessed to have great boys.
You have it all together. Love this table.
Love your sewing room and Jordan is so helpful! Your ideas are so helpful!! I'd definitely hire Jordan for his expertise! You're a lucky mum.
Great idea, thank you so much… Jordon is an incredible helper. Mama you did a great job👏🙏🏼
Great way of explaining the instructions !!! You didn ' t miss any steps... You explained everything pricesely..! Clever thinking about the wheels under the shelves so you can bring the table in other rooms if you need it...GREAT!!!! Only one thing. I ' M RUUUNNING to Ikea !!!! Thumbs up for the tut!😊😊😊👍👍👍👍
Thank you for this great idea. And your son is so adorable. So nice to see him helping you. God bless
Thank you so much!
I Love the table...thank you for the idea...Jordan you are an awesome son, he is so proud to help mom, how cute!
Hi! So happy to see you here! I love you and Jordan’s teamwork!
Great video. I really liked the idea of the shelf liner material to stop the bottom and top from sliding. This makes a lot of sense to keep it in separate parts in case you need to move it. The door idea is genius! Your son looks like a lovely young man. 👍
Love the hollow core door! It also makes it easier to move it if you need to in a small space! Jordan is adorable
Yes. I love it!
I love it! I've been searching for a sewing /work table that would work in my small room and this is it! You and Jordan explained it all in a calm and helpful way that is easy to understand. Thank you for posting this.
Hi Debra. Thank you. Out of everything in my craft room, this table gets used every day in some form or fashion. I love it.
Great job! So creative and clever!
Can't wait to make my own, when I'm settled in a more permanent place. Thank you so much for all the details. Excellent explanation. I'm off to go explore more on your channel!
Thanks!
Love it! Jordan is a son after a mother's heart! Thank you for sharing.
Your welcome!
Nice item and Jordan is precious. Will be trying this.
Just watched your video. Thank you for sharing your helpful hints. Jordan is a cutie. Thanks Jordan for being good to your mom!
Wow! You guys did great. Jordon is so cute and what a blessing he is for his mom! This was very inspirational. Thanks to both of you!
Thank you so much. Jordan is a good kid!
I love how the both of you put it together. Very sweet. Great job.
Jordan is adorable, so nice to see him help mom!!!
Yes. He is such a good helper. He just put together another ikea desk for me!
Thanks for your video! I love the gripper tip..brilliant!
Wow! Great built! That Jordon is just a sweetheart! I hope he keeps learning to be handy! If you have those skills there isn't a thing you can't make! You both have such creative talent! What a team! Thank you so much for the video!
Thanks 👍
Thank you! Your cutting, sewing, and crafting table is the most practical, budget-friendly, and good looking table for my needs. Thanks again for your clear explanation and items needed for this table.
Hi Janet. You are welcome!!
I've looked at lots of these type tables. Yours looks great and I love that you did it with your son. He seems like a real sweetheart! ❤
Thanks Julie. He really is a good helper!
I just spent hours looking to buy a decent cutting table. This is so perfect! Thank you for sharing, I really enjoyed it!
Glad you liked it!!
So helpful, thank you for all the details you included in this video and Jordan is adorable!
You're so creative. Using everyday stuff is ingenious! I love it! Thank you so much.
You are so welcome!
Thanks. I am in the process of making my table and love the idea of the gripping shelf liner.
Yes. It works wonderful and you dont have to have it permanently bolted down.
What a fantastic young man! Bravo for a job well done - to both of you!
What a sweetheart of a son...Apple and tree. Thx for the inspiration.
Thank you, wonderful idea. I love to build things with my son. This will be the perfect project for us! Way to go Jordan for helping mom out!
Yes. This is the perfect project. I absolutely love it!! Its the one thing in my craft room I use every single day. Its brings me joy!
This is awesome! Thank you so much for sharing how you did this! I came across a smaller version but the kallax units were attached to the top and bottom wood making everything permanent. I love the idea of leaving them unattached and using the grip stuff so that I could easily disassemble it when needing to set up a bed for overnight guests. It's the best of both worlds! And I love that light! Your son is adorable and I loved that he helped build it. 😉 Great job to you and Jordan!! 👏
Hi Becka! Thanks so much for watching the video. I love that I can take them down if I need to as well. It makes it so much more versatile!
Everything about this makes me smile 😊. Especially the fact that your son built it and is walking us through it. As a mom this makes my heart so full.
Thank you. It was fun to make with Jordan!
Thank you both so much for that information on how you build your workstation. That will be a great help for me in putting mine together also. I love the idea of getting the non slip grip material. I really appreciate you guys sharing and very much enjoy it. Thank you and God Bless
Thank you for sharing! I've been looking for a DIY craft table table I can easily disassemble for moving or just for changing rooms. I love the casters and the mobility of this unit. You could easily put it against the wall for crafting and move it to the center of the room for cutting fabric.
You did a great job with the video and Jordan is perfect!
Glad it was helpful!
Good idea !looking for something to make a cutting table. Thank you for sharing.
Y’all did a great job!!! Congrats to Jordan for his hard work!

Thank you again for sharing the video and tips!
Wonderful!
You two are geniuses! Back to the drawing board to simplify and improve my upcoming table to reflect yours a little more. Thank you for sharing this, it’s removed some obstacles to having my own table at home ❤️
Awesome. This table by far is the most used item in my craft room.
Thank you for sharing your home designed work table. I have been looking for a cutting table that is wide and tall and you have answered my prayers. Great teamwork!
Awesome!
Thanks for this!! Jordan thank you for you handy work as well!🤗👍🏽
Good job on the craft table/workspace and the video.
Love your idea!! And love that your some helped you make it and the video.😊
Fun video and I really like the idea of a hollow door as your table top. You are so lucky to have Jordan to help you with this project. Best Wishes to both of you!
Made my table, thanks to your video, and I LOVE it!
That is fantastic. I hope you enjoy yours as much as I enjoy mine!
Just saw this video. Thank you and Jordan for this great information.
Thanks for sharing the shelf liner idea! I can’t wait to start my project now. I was avoiding it since I was not wanting to drill into the Kalax units.
Awesome idea! My husband built me a she shed/ art room and I am going to show him this. Your son is such a cutie! I love seeing kids help their parents. It’s so rare these days I’m a new subscriber to your channel and looking forward to watching your other videos. Thank You
Hello. Thank you for watching and subscribing!!
Aww look at your baby boy. He’s so proud 💕💕
Yes he is!
Thank you for this video! So excited to build my own table!
Love the way your son is helping out!
Thank you. He is a big help!
How Happee you made me! The door is a great idea - so much cheaper than the IKEA table. I just completed mine and it looks and works awesome! Thanks so much for your detailed instructions...and agree, Jordan is adorable! Thanks again!
Thanks so much for posting such a detailed description. Jordan is too adorable.
You are so welcome!
You are an absolute genius, thank you for sharing what worked for you!! I've been debating on an Ikea Kallax unit with the table but it would stick out and I need the storage and workspace...this solves ALL those issues, and will sit in front of a big window without blocking it AND I get double the storage space and bigger workspace!!!! You have a new follower and my sincere thanks!!
You are so welcome. Im so glad you were able to use the ideas in this video!
THANK YOU!!! SOOOOO very easy to do! So glad I found your post! Please post more team projects!
Thanks Cathy!!!
I don’t need this table but I loved watching you and your son. What a great team you make! I smiled the whole way through. ❤️
Thanks Connie. He is so good at helping me.
I know this is an older video but I found it a few weeks ago and ordered pieces to make a table just like it!! Thanks for this inspiration!! 🌺
