Toy Dinette set made w/ Gum Wrappers

Step 4 Make the table top

The top of the table will be about an inch wide (good fit for the chairs on the end). Take a gum wrapper, unfold it all the way. Center that inch and make two 90 degree folds, one from each end about 1 1/4 inches. This will make a "U" shaped piece. (The folds just show you have far to roll each side, the angle doesn't really matter) What really matters is what side do you want up? If you want the foil side up, you will want to make the rolls on the paper side. Other wise, you would want to make the rolls with the foils side facing up. If you roll it the wrong way you will not get a good looking table top - it will look like a table trough (not good for impressing your new friends).

Take a straight stick and roll the wrapper around stick down the leg of each side toward the middle. Stop when you reach the crease of the fold. Pull the stick out gently and do the other side the same. Try to make the roll as tight as possible. These are the the connections to the table sides.

Shown below is my preference of a foil table top (not a trough).
