DIY DIY Striped Wooden Tray Makeover

During concluding week's trip to the thrift store, I came across a patently woods tray for a dollar. It was inwards sorry shape together with inwards demand of a picayune work, exactly 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 together with white stripes.

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

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

To create this tray, I sanded it amongst roughly fine grit sandpaper to smoothen it down. Then, I painted the entire tray white together with permit it dry. I began to stair out together with score amongst a pen where I wanted my stripes to be, together with thus used masking record to record off the areas I wanted to overstep away along white.

I decided I wanted my stripes to live on two inches each. Here's what the tray looked similar i 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, together with earlier the pigment dried, I removed the tape. (Always take away the record earlier the pigment dries or it volition rip upwards the paint.)

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

I sealed the tray amongst a clear coat together with permit that dry. Once the tray was completely dry, I had a picayune fun styling it.You could actually role this tray for anything....a serving tray, a vanity tray, magazine holder, etc. The possibilities are endless.

Thanks thus much for stopping past times today!!
