      For this you need:
      - 3 pcs solid wires
      - soft binding wire
      - a circle made of solid material (I used a transparent base of a doll stand)
      - white spray paint (suitable for metal)

      Procedure:
      Measure how high a table you will need (sit the doll on a chair to get a better estimate). My chairs are quite low, so I estimated the height of the table at 20cm. As you guessed correctly, the solid wires need to be made into a "U". In that case, the base of the table must be approximately 10 cm so that the table has stability. Measure the top part according to the size of your table top. If you want to glue everything and make it stronger, no problem. For me, it's better if I can fold the table stand and the board can also serve as a base for the doll stand. When you have three "U" wires, put them together in the middle so that one wire is sticking out on each side. Wrap the middle part (vertical) tightly with the binding wire. You can spray paint the wires either before, or if you're lazy, after the table is assembled. Put a tablecloth on the plate and you're done!
      You can strengthen the table with eye putty. ;)

      If you are going to move the table somewhere, you simply put the wires together and the board separately.

    2. I like the simplicity of this project. I suppose some plastic container lid could work as the top part too.

    3. This is fantastic and super versatile! Honestly the least intimidating furniture tutorial I've seen, so probably a great place for beginners who want to try, too. <3

    5. I love the fact this is folding! It's so hard to justify making giant furniture that needs to be out all the time.

      I also like simple projects. I'm not very handy, but this was easy. I consulted my hands-on parents on the idea. :) Thank you for your comment! <3

      @dm_sof
      That's right! This is very simple and I managed it too! The place is a problem every time, yes... I know it very well! Thanks for your comment! <3

      @dharmaniac
      I'm glad it's understandable despite my language barrier. Thank you! <3

      @Bobble
      Yes! That was a basic requirement! I always wanted my dolls to have a round garden table to go with those beautiful chairs I managed to buy at a book and decor store. But I already have a closet full of their furniture and nowhere to put it. This was a good compromise. Thank you for your comment! <3

      I really appreciate any feedback. <3
