tv tray gets an update of awesome-ness

I love taking something that I would never want to use and turning it into something that I rather adore.

Here we have an old ugly tv tray.

….i.e. something I would never want to use. Not because of it’s function, but because of it’s ugliness.

And here we have something that I rather adore.

The trifecta of paint, paper, and podge coming together to create pure awesome-ness!

I started by spray painting the edge of the tray and the legs. This choice color is called watermelon by Krylon.

After the paint was dry, I mod podged (yes that’s a verb) paper to the top of the tray.

Then covered it all with two coats of mod podge to make it nice and durable.

And now we not only have a functional tray, but also one that is a tasty tidbit of eye candy.

I also made one with this fun fruit paper.

Yummy!

And this tray is probably my favorite.

Aren’t these over-flowing with awesome-ness?!

If I want them out of the way, they just wait all tucked up next to the fridge.

I still have one more tray (because tv trays always came in sets of four) that I haven’t done anything with yet, but I’ll get to it…..eventually.

Happy tuesday everyone!!
