I gave another item from my kitchen a makeover.
This old tray had seen better days.
My original plan was to spray paint the handles and frame black and the inside tray white. I was then going to paint a simple black design on the white tray. Well, the black paint seeped onto the white, then the white onto the black. I ditched the idea and went to Plan B.
I found an image of some pretty tile online and printed out several “tiles” onto a light cardstock. I cut out the tiles and Mod Podged them onto the tray covering up the messed up paint.
I’m glad my original plan didn’t work because I love my new faux tile tray.
