Diy Striped Wooden Tray Makeover

During terminal week's trip to the thrift store, I came across a apparently woods tray for a dollar. It was inwards misfortunate shape too inwards demand of a lilliputian work, but I knew it had potential. Here's what I did amongst it:

Since nosotros all know I'm obsessed amongst stripes, I decided to pigment the tray amongst classic dark too white stripes.

Here's what it looked similar when I root brought it home.

It's such a elementary lilliputian projection that makes a large impact!

To create this tray, I sanded it amongst merely about fine grit sandpaper to shine it down. Then, I painted the entire tray white too allow it dry. I began to mensurate too grade amongst a pen where I wanted my stripes to be, too therefore used masking record to record off the areas I wanted to proceed white.

I decided I wanted my stripes to endure two inches each. Here's what the tray looked similar ane time I had all of the stripes taped.

Next, it was fourth dimension to pigment my stripes. I used a classic dark paint.

Once all of my stripes were painted, too earlier the pigment dried, I removed the tape. (Always take the record earlier the pigment dries or it volition rip upwardly the paint.)

That's all it took to create this chic lilliputian tray.

I sealed the tray amongst a clear coat too allow that dry. Once the tray was completely dry, I had a lilliputian fun styling it.You could actually piece of occupation this tray for anything....a serving tray, a vanity tray, magazine holder, etc. The possibilities are endless.

Thanks therefore much for stopping yesteryear today!!
