Upcycled black tray

Inexpensive and scratched up black tray from thrift store. FLAT black paint is a nice bonus!! Easier to paint over.

I added some little wood ‘feet’ to raise it up a bit. (glued on with e6000)

Let the e6000 cure overnight before painting.

Two coats of paint, then some quality time with the orbital sander.

Selected a stencil that fit the inside area of the tray.

Done!

Available for purchase in my booth at Stars Antique Mall in Portland.

It turned out cute! Love the idea of putting feet on the bottom of the tray. You are very inspiring!
