Hello friends!

I hope you all had a wonderful weekend. We had a party and celebrated our son’s recent graduation from college. He graduated from Randolph Macon College in Ashland, VA. Such a great school!
So it was a very fun weekend with family and friends. Love this time of year when can all gather together and enjoy these amazing temps outside.

This tray…

Not my style but no worries, it soon will be! ;)

I lightly sanded the whole thing and then cleaned it up with some TSP Alternative.
Then I used a Satin finish white spray paint, several thin coats.

Once it was dry (I let it sit for a day or so) I applied this sweet butterfly transfer.

I pulled this one from my store. I just adore it! It can be used as one large design or you can use it for smaller ones like I did here.

MATERIALS LIST

After I finished attaching the Butterfly Dance Decor Transfer, I sprayed it with the Triple Thick Glaze finish. I did two coats, drying in between.

And that’s it!! DONE!

  1. That is very cool. Who doesn’t love butterflies! When we first bought our ten acres in the tress the monarchs would come through in the spring and they were so thick you dare not open your! Sadly those no longer come directly across our path and I really miss them. Seeing your tray reminded me of a great memory and that is true art.

      1. Aww, haha, no worries! And wow, 10 acres, I could only dream of that! But so sad the butterflies are gone. :( I would miss them too!! I’m so very glad my little tray invoked such a wonderful memory for you though! xo

  2. Hi Nancy! You can’t go wrong with butterflies!! I have this transfer so whenever I want to add a butterfly I have one. Maybe I will just make a butterfly tray too. Thank you for the inspiration.

    1. Oh, that’s perfect! Isn’t this transfer the best? There are SO many beautiful butterflies. Can do many projects with it! Happy weekend to you, Cheryl! xo
