Old Tray to Amazing

Hi folks!

I love my adventures at the thrift store.

Digging through stacks of treasures hoping I will find that something I can turn into a wonderful piece of my very own.

Sometimes I see an item for a great price and just bring it home, not knowing what in the world I will do with it.

This was one of those items.

Until I saw this photo.

I love these trays, I would love to have them, but they are $75.00 for both.

Yikes!

Well, that was not going to happen, and then I remembered that old tray in my garage stash.

It was pretty scratched up so I sanded it several times.

Gathered the right size wood beads, and 4 wood pieces for legs, found at Hobby Lobby.

Painted the tray, and when dry, I used E6000 glue to add beads all around the inside edge of the tray.

When the beads were dry and secured, I painted the beads, the tray, and the legs, with several coats of paint.

Not exactly like the $75.00 ones, but pretty darn close.

Love the final results of this project.

It really is amazing when you look back at that beat up old tray I started with.

I am sure my decorative tray isn’t the quality of the ones shown in the photo, but the fact I could take something someone discarded, and turn it into something beautiful, gives me so much joy.

Have you been thrifting lately?

Hugs, until my next post.
