The Cross- Stitch DIY That Will Transform Your IKEA Hol Storage Table
By SASKIA AINSWORTH
If you want to upgrade the simplistic design of your IKEA Hol storage table, this DIY project from TikTok user @dalia.ea can give it a creative look using a cross-stitching trick.
For this project, you’ll need wool roving, dark walnut wood stain, Minwax polycrylic crystal clear top coat, a paintbrush, and a Hol table (only available in the U.S. secondhand).
Begin by disassembling the Hol and adding a coat of wood stain and polycrylic to the entire thing. Allow it to dry for at least a day before putting it back together.
Feed the wool roving through each hole using a cross-stitching method to create your desired look. Search online for inspiration or alternate colors between rows to keep it simple.
To use this as a coffee table without worrying about the thick wool threaded through the openings, install a wooden or glass top. Keep it clean as any spills can be hard to remove.
