Crafting the Perfect IveyCraftHouse for You

This next DIY is a tray I redid that I found a couple years ago at Dollar General after Christmas. I believe I got it on clearance at 70%  off.....score!! Usually any time I find trays on sale or clearance, I snatch them up .

1.) Wooden Tray

2.) Plastic or Vinyl Placemat 

3.) Ribbon 

4.) Flowers 

5.) Hot Glue Sticks

6.) Glue Gun

7.) Paint

8.) Scissors 

9.) Sand Paper 

10.) Ribbon & Flower w/ Greenery 

My tray was all white with "Eat, Drink and Be Merry" painted in the center. I sanded the gold  script down as much as I could and used white acrylic paint  in a thin layer just on the body part of the tray to cover up the writing. Then I used black paint to paint a border on the top and sides of the center of the tray.

After the black border dried, I then took my placemat  and cut it to fit the area I wanted to cover.  I hot glued the placemat to the tray. I wasn't sure if I wanted it to be permanent and knew with hot glue, I could pop it off if I wanted to change it later.
