So when you have kids, no matter how many you have, things happen. We have a coffee table that I just despise, because it has a glass top, and Alex likes to flip around our living room and jump off the couch I'm always terrified he's going to crack his head open. So I moved the glass off the table and just left the pedestal there in case of company I can just pop the glass back on it. Big mistake. Big. Amber had a mishap with her knee and the pedestal yesterday. Had I not been standing there talking to her when it happened I would not have believed that she tripped and I guess in an effort to get her balance she brought her knee up well it went onto the top of the pedestal and then into the pedastal. So now I have a big hole in my coffee table. It isn't repairable, we've looked it over. It's fiberglass so it's finished. :( 
So anyone have any craft ideas how to cover the hole and save the table? This is what the end table looks like without the hole. Ideas please!

Oh no! Poor Amber, that looks like it must have hurt ... and poor coffee table pedestal :( I don't have any crafty ideas on how might to fix it. The only thing that comes to mnd is putting something like a small table cloth over it before you put the glass back on. I'm telling you coffee tables and kids just are not a good match :(
Is it even possible to flip the base around? You can buy some netting type of metal and plaster it yourself after, if you wish to do so {the stuff for drywall would work nicely}. Or, put a cloth of some kind on top of it to hide the hole? I really don't have many incredible solutions. I think I would send it to furniture heaven and get one that is not glass top. ;)
Side note: We don't have coffee tables, it just saves us head stiches and broken bones, and lets the kids dance around when they want to give us a littel concert. :)
I was thinking some type of fabric as well. Ouch on the knee though.
