Have you noticed that I have a tray obsession? Well I do but I can’t help myself. Trays are such a fun accent for a table top, vanity, desk or bar cart and are the perfect accessory to help keep smaller items organized.
Recently I stumbled upon the image of this $65 tray in a magazine and knew immediately that I wanted to created my own version…for a lot less!
I picked up this unfinished wood tray at Walmart for $8.00 and grabbed a few paint chips from Home Depot.
Once home I pulled out my Fiskars Hexagon Punch and punched a variety of paint chip colors.
Next I spray painted the tray using Rustoleum Metallic Spray Paint in Aged Copper making sure to cover the entire tray.
I applied a thin layer of Mod Podge to the inside bottom of the tray and arranged my hexagons, randomly placing the colors.
Once all the pieces were in place I applied Mod Podge over the hexagons and all the sides and edge of the tray.
I love how my tray turned out. I placed it in several places in my home and finally decided to keep it on my bar cart as a fun summer accent.
Cheers!
I’m in a creative mood so look for more fun and easy projects to come.
