Tray talk

A wooden tray is useful in the home.

It is great for carrying things.

It is great as a server.

It is fabulous to use in a vignette!

A wooden tray is nice to have.

It's even better to find at GW.

Even better

when it's $1.99,

 to boot!

This tray got a quick spray of Krylon black.

Then, I painted the inside with acrylic craft paint,

Americana in bleached sand

I then began with my polka dot fetish-
Unfortunately,

that didn't work out like I hoped-
I used a stencil sponge brush and

although they didn't have to be perfectly precise,

the dots didn't look like dots!

So, whats a girl to do-

I repainted the bottom of the tray

 and

covered up the bumpy, lumpy dots-

black was the color of choice!

Basically,

 it looked like it did

 in the very beginning,

(a very good place to start!! LOL!!)

I hear a song....haha

Anywhooo, I decided to be more careful this time,

because how many times can a tray be painted

 before it becomes a gloppy mess!?!

Instead of paint,

I went with contact paper!

No painted messes this time-

Instead of dots,

 I argyled it!
I thought it needed a preppy flair
 and
that's what it got!
Well, I've been a busy crafty bee
 these past few days
so,
now I'm off-
 to check out some of my fav blogs
but I'll keep you posted-
take care, gotta fly-Claire
