Hello beautiful and crafty friends!

I hope you are having a fabulous summer! We are busy, busy over here! What’s new? haha!

Today I’m sharing a metal tray that’s part of that “smalls” haul I have been sharing.

The dark oval tray on the right side of the bench is today’s makeover.

Metal Tray Makeover – Goth to Glam!

Not very exciting as it is!

So let’s glam it up!

I began by cleaning it up with some TSP Alternative. Then gave it a couple of coats of Victorian Lace.

This pretty “gilded” floral transfer is going in the middle.

Since the flowers are gilded with gold, I decided to paint the handles with gold and all of the “rivets” too.

Once the transfer was done I applied a coat of Tough Coat Topcoat in Matte all over.

This looks to me like something I’d use in a bathroom to hold things. What do you think?

  1. So very pretty! I could totally see it with perfume bottles and perhaps a ring holder on your dresser or vanity. Thanks for sharing!

  2. This is soooo pretty! I love it. Yes I think in a bathroom or bedroom, actually anywhere lol. Great as a serving tray too.

  3. Gorgeous!
    Fill with some bath or kitchen items and it would make for a nice gift basket for new neighbor, friend/ family member for a birthday, etc.
