I love to take trays from the thrift stores and make them beautiful. Hope you like this one.

Frist I took my decoupage rice paper and used a water pen to outline the part I wanted to use. On this one I wanted to use just the flowers.

I took my paint and painted the whole tray. I let the paint dry and then painted the part where I was going to put the image. I painted that par white because you need to do this in order for the image to show up on the tray.

Next, I added the Mod Podge to the white area and put the rice paper down. I then gave it a coat of the mod podge to seal the image.

Around the edge of the tray were some pretty designs. So, this is where I used my rub and buff in silver to bring out that design.

What a beautiful tray. This is what I got when it was complete. I hope you get inspiration from this and try to make one too.
