How to make a coffeetable out of recycled materials?

Maybe make a table out of soda cans? I don't know, sorry :(

My kids had footstools made out of metal juice cans covered with fabric. Use a juice can for each leg, and a board placed on top of that. If you want to be real creative, paint on squares for checkers/chess or one for tic tac toe.

You can have a look on: http://www.curbly.com/tags/ideas - if you are patient enough, you'll finally find loads of ideas. Also this one is good: http://www.recyclethis.co.uk/ - just type in what you think of recycling, and you will find how to do it http://www.foe.co.uk/living/poundsavers/do_it_yourself/imaginative_recycling.html http://www.treehugger.com/ The easiest way and most obvious would be finding an old table (landfill, flea market, building skip) or big cable reel (on the building site?) and give it a face lift - strenghthen it, re-paint it and make some new funky top from anything - virtually anything, whatever you find, just make it flat! And to complete cafe's design - make soome funky lampshades: http://www.instructables.com/id/E9TA9AH137ET2JYI75/ and make funky room dividers from plastic bottles:http://fabulouslygreen.blogspot.com/2006/09/design-inspiration-water-office.html then wallpaper the cafe with old shredded magazines: http://decor8.blogspot.com/2007/01/shredded-bliss-diy-project.html - (you can find loads of stuff on this websites as well) If you keep using those websites - you will be known as the most creative kid in school!
