While looking for a gift for my husband online I stumbled on a website that made poker table toppers for anyone's regular table they have at home. These toppers looked like felt coveered boards some more fancy than others. This got me thinking... we had a table that would work well for cards, all that is really missing to make it look nice and be fun to play on is the green felt. (and even though we have the room, who would want to store that huge table topper?)

| The underside of the table so you can see that it's been pulled tight and the connector is locked. |
So off I went to the Fabric store to find me some green felt. I cut the felt to be a diameter of 2 feet wider than the original table so there would be plenty of material to pull tight underneath. The pulling was made possible by sewing a tube around the edge of the cut out felt and threading through a long piece of elastic. (like the kind in jackets when you can adjust them) I put both ends of the elastic through a connector that would allew us to pull it as tight as we wanted. I was pretty proud of the finished product...
Your deal?
