What you need:

• (9) cans of Kylon Indoor/Outdoor spray paint in Banner Red, Peekaboo Blue, Regal Blue, Rich Plum, Sun Yellow, Emerald Green, Pumpkin Orange and Crystal Clear.
• (1) can of Kylon Outdoor Spaces Satin Finish Black Onyx spray paint.
• (350) 1" wooden blocks
• Wood Glue
• Duct Tape
• Sandpaper
• (16) Wood screws
• Cardboard or newspaper
• Wood Table top (10" x 10" piece, I used 1/2" thick wood but any will work)
• Legs 1 1/2" x 1 1/2" pieces 18" long
• (4) Sidebars 1 1/2" x 1 1/2" pieces 7" long
• Drill Saw
• Sander
• Screwdriver
• Clamps

How and How Long:

1. Create your Tetris shapes. Glue up sets of 4 blocks into the Tetris shapes. Make 14 of each shape: Square Straight L shape; Right L shape; Left Z Shape; Right Z Shape. Also reserve a few extra single blocks to be painted in each color. But, if you don't want to make the shapes ahead of time, you can skip this step and go right to painting the blocks.
2. Get out your spray paint, move to an outside location, and apply 2 -3 coats per side as follows: L shape Right - paint Regal Blue. L shape Left - paint Pumpkin Orange. Square - paint Sun Yellow. Bar - paint Peekaboo Blue. Z shape Right - paint Emerald Green. Z shape Left - paint Banner Red. T shape - paint Rich Plum. Note: Carefully follow directions on the spray paint.
3. The table frame is simply held together with wood screws. There is no need to hide the screws since they will be covered over by Tetris blocks. Once the frame pieces are cut, create frame: Measure and mark 1/4" from the top and 4" from the bottom on one side On the next side mark 3/4" from the top and 3 3/4" from the bottom Drill through all marks Affix side bars to legs with wood screws Attach legs to form frame Glue on table top.
4. Cover entire frame with 3-4 layers of the Satin Finish Black Onyx spray paint. Let dry.
5. Arrange blocks into a 12 x 12 square for the top of the table. Consider timing your friends to see how long it takes them to make a perfect square. When you are happy with your pattern, glue all the pieces together. Using a glue brush will make this much easier and neater.
6. Wait for table top to completely dry. Decide which side will be up and make sure that side is facing down. Cover all but the outside rows with glue and place frame on top. While this is drying, you can build the sides. Just add a few more levels around the sides. this is where a few extra singe blocks may come in handy if you want to maintain the shape patterns on all sides. The bottom rows can also be arranged and glued at this point. I glued them together in small groups and affixed them along the bottom sidebars with clamps. This allows you to work on this step while the table is still in the upside down position from the beginning.
7. Use the Clear Gloss spray paint to coat the entire piece 4-5 times. Now you have the perfect item on which to serve Mario martinis, Pac-Man pizza, or Call of Duty canapes!
