How do I replace felt on a card table?

lolly5648

I have been given an old folding card table and there is a hole in the green felt so I need to replace it. Does anyone know how to do this?

You can buy sticky-backed felt in different widths up to at least 60".
I'm no restorer but I think that would be the easiest way.

Found some on Amazon but I've also seen it in craft shops.

First remove the old felt,you can buy new stuff here;

Then sand the top to remove any old traces of glue.Cut the felt to larger than the table & then using a spray adhesive like the one below,spray the surface of the table.lay the felt over the table.

Then get a ruler &,working from the center outwards,run the rulet over the felt to remove any air bubbles,pull tight at the edges & staple the loose felt to the underneath of the table.
