Much loved serving tray had become rather worn with several marks, cuts and stains on it. I gave my first try to decoupage technique transforming our old breakfast serving tray into newer version of it. Though with a bit of a shabby old look.
That is the picture Before :)
That is the very beginning of the process of putting on bottom layer paint. I forgot to take pics of almost all other steps so this post will not illustrate the process, just a bit of insight.
Playing with motif arrangements.
That's the final result. Lots of mistakes, a bit of disappointment and overall feeling this is not quite for me. I guess I am not patient enough for tiny detail cutting, accurate and careful gluing (I managed to get air bubbles in almost all motives!), and multi step process requires constant attention I don't have most of the time (ie. not forgetting project somewhere outside where it's left to dry until the rain comes).
Ah, but it turned out quite pretty in the end. And...it was a great way to transform your tray. ;)
