Decor table with natural materials
Such a decor of the table will require carpentry skills. Natural materials are volumetric, so on the sides of the table you need to make a frame on which the glass will be lying later. You can make it from bamboo or ordinary rails, but must be covered with silicone from top to top so that the glass is soft, but firmly in contact with the frame.
Natural materials are laid in the finished frame. It can be seashells or sea stones, drawings laid out of croup, bark of trees, small fir bumps, etc. All these items for brightness can be covered with varnish, but this can not be done. Instead of natural materials, unassembled hourly mechanisms can be used, old keys, any mechanical parts. From above on the frame put a thin silicone tape, and it is placed glass. It is possible to fasten it using a special glue. Such a decor will not leave anyone indifferent.
