Decoupaging With Fabric

So, here is the tale of my $50 estate sale dining table.  I got this thing forever ago, knew I would have to do something with the top as it was completely destroyed.  The back story for it can be checked out here. It looked a little like this when I first got it.

As you can see, it was gross.  I had plans to sand it all down smooth, and paint it.  Things being what they were (didn't want to us the electric sander in my home/NOT hauling it BACK down 3 flights of stairs as it was solid walnut)...I decided painting it was not going to happen...so, I started thinking of alternative options.  I toyed with the idea of decoupaging some fabric to the top and sealing it.  I couldn't find anything I thought would work, and so it sat.  And sat, and sat.  A couple of weeks ago, my Mom (thanks Momma) sent me a little package.  She said she had found some fabric that made her think of me, so she bought it and sent it.  I opened it up and knew immediately what I would do with it.  It was very light weight, basically sheer really.  Which was something I hadn't previously, viewed as an option...but, when I laid it over the table...I was sold.  DONE. Here's the process I followed.

First I smeared glue (Elmer's, fabric, ModPodge, etc.) on the table.  Paying special attention to the edges, as I didn't want any floppy ones.  I then smoothed the fabric over the table a bit at a time trying to make sure there were no wrinkles or creases (I still ended up with a few, but it definitely helped to pull and smooth.)  After it was all trimmed up to fit the table, I liberally applied a little more glue underneath the edge of the table, and folded and pressed the excess fabric under for a seamless appearance.  I then applied 4 coats of polyurethane, as well as a spray sealant.  That was it.  Happy, happy me! It was a really easy, nice, and unique alternative to paint.  So what do you think.  would you try this?
