Step 7 – Attach casters to the bottom.

Step 8 – Now for the fun part! Time to add bling! Using mirror tape to add the perfect touch to the DIY C-table

I measured 6 ¼” from each side and added the 1.88″ mirror tape. Then I add the ¾” tape on each side leaving a ¾” gap from the middle tape. Be sure to leave enough to wrap around underneath. I went around the top to the back in a waterfall effect and on the inside too make it look like the mirror was “embedded” in.DIY C-table with mirror tape on the back
