How $1.19 turned into a nice home decor’ project!

This project started with a broken tray I bought at the Michael’s mark down for $1.19! There was a crack in the bottom and it was missing a couple of pieces of molding from the bottom.

I used a good quality wood filler for the crack in the bottom allow it to dry throughly. The secret to this project frankly was the tons of sanding I did! It was sanded after the filler, and after the first coat of white paint. Sanded again after I decopauged the paper onto the bottom of the tray and sanded one last time with the second coat of lacquer.

This project was so easy, just a bit time consuming!

I wanted to keep the tray gender netural but in keeping with the over-all feel of my home. Since I love music and had some scraps of this fun music paper, it just fit.

As you can see I also altered a note pad, pen, candle and even the envelopes (which are stamped) so my guest can easily use the tray much like the ones found at a fine hotel. I really love the looks of the final project.
