How to Make a Red Pallet Christmas Tray

I'm having so much fun making rustic Christmas trays!

 I made a white Christmas tray using Old Sign Stencils by Funky Junk Interiors. 
I loved it so much I'm keeping it but that didn't stop me from making a few more. An Instagram friend requested a red tray so here it is.
I used red chalky paint for the tray and green for the trees with gold stars.

When the paint dried I used an electric sander to distress the edges then dark wax over clear wax over the top.

    Gorgeous, Susan! I agree, this colour / finish is so festive!

    And thank you for the stencil mentions!

    This is so pretty and I love the color. I'v got a tray in the works too I'm just deciding on a base color, red could be a good idea.

    Great little tray, love the color and stencil. The link to Funky Junk Interiors is broken and I can't locate the actual tray on the site. I'm wondering what the best dimensions are for this tray.

      Hi Susan thank you so much for letting me know. I fixed the link so it should work for you now. You can make the tray any size you want to. I usually make mine 24" long and 3 boards wide depending on the size of the boards you are choosing. It is entirely up to you! :) Thanks for your message!
