DIY Tray

I've wanted a tray for about 9 months. I look every time I'm at the thrift store which all of you know is A LOT.  Last Thursday I found my little gem way up on the top shelf. 


It really wasn't an ugly frame to start with, but I had big dreams for this tray. 

I took it apart. Painted it off white.


Then ironed a little fabric & used a hot glue gun to set the fabric in place and 

Viola....my new tray:


I knew I wanted black & white fabric & went with the squares instead of floral fabric to match the candlesticks. 


Price Breakdown:
Tray: $5 at the Thrift Store-I'm embarrassed that I paid full price for this at the thrift store, I had zero patience to wait for it's tag to go 50%
Paint: $1
Fabric: $2

$7 for a custom made tray...not too bad :)
