Decorative Details

I found this cute wooden tray at Goodwill the other week and couldn't wait to transform it.  Etcetera Designer Series Paper can do just that!  I used Antique Modge Podge to adhere all my pieces on the tray.  This specialty type of modge podge dries with a like antique finish, leaving the tray looking beautiful and vintage.

I love each aspect of the paper, and wanted to make sure I included as much as possible (plus, it made my tray a little more funky and one of a kind- which is totally me).  So, I included some extra details like the navy chevron border around the center of the tray as well as a cut out rose and label detail in one of the corners.  In addition, I added some aspects of the ruler printed paper on the outside of each section.

For the sides of the tray with the handles, I traced out the shape of the side first before cutting it out and adhering to the tray. After the modge podge had time to completely dry, I sprayed the entire tray with some craft sealer.  Then after letting the sealer dried (I let it sit overnight), I added scraps of ribbon in to one side of the tray for a finishing touch!
