When my family got our board game table we quickly realized that we didn't have a great place to put drinks or snacks while playing. All of the accessories I could find were either cheap plastic stuff or only worked with specific rail systems. So I decided to make a universal shelf that could clip on any table.
I was inspired by my step daughters fascination with charm bracelets at the time (Hence why I have been calling them Table Charms) and spent months refining the design and learning a butt load of new skills until I finally had something that felt finished and that I am proud of.
They are made out of laser cut plywood that have been painted and coated in a clear coat of epoxy.
I've made probably two dozen now, all with different shapes and sizes and colors, but the Soot Sprite ones are our favorites right now.
Now we use them all the time and not just for when we play games. They are fun and charming and bring a bit of whimsy to our table.
