Good Afternoon my friends!   It has been awhile since I posted anything.  It appears I am the only one who reads my blog anyway.........as I get very few comments.
I wanted to share a project today. I found this tray at Goodwill, it was an ugly brown with a picture of grapes and wine. I am not a grape and wine kind of gal, so that had to go.
Firstly I spray painted the whole tray with a glossy black. Then I modge podged some scrap book paper, and sealed it with a sealer. It was a very simple project but I do like how it turned out. The scrapbook paper was still drying when I took this photo. So the paper has some bubbles, but once it dries it will all go away.

  1. Hi Susan, good find Some people find great pieces at Goodwill. I have gotten a few things there and altered them. You mentioned that you don't get many comments. I didn't see that you are linking to any of the great link parties on the web.

  3. That looks great, Susan! Remember when grapes and wine things were all the rage? I might have had quite a few "grape" things myself! The tray looks nice painted black and the paper mod podging was a great idea. xo Diana

    ps. Hope you are having a wonderful Christmas season so far.

  4. Susan, I have never actually used modge podge, but remember pinning a sort of 'go-to' guide for the various kinds for different crafts. I love it when I see a homely piece turned chic - nice job!
