Buffalo Plaid Rustic Tray
6:03:00 AM
Buffalo Check is very popular and I just love it!
These trays are my very favorite project.
Rustic trays are easy to build and can be adorned with may different designs.
Today I'm trying out my new stencil from Old Sign Stencils.
I'm adding Amazon and Old Sign Stencil affiliate links in gold to this post so you can find the products I used for this project.

I stenciled the buffalo plaid stencil onto my tray with a stencil brush.
You have to be very careful to off-load your brush and not use too much paint or you will end up with the paint bleeding under the stencil.
 This is definitely not the look you are going for.
To get a crisp stencil I sprayed the back of my stencil with spray adhesive first.
I used a stencil brush with a little bit of paint then off-loaded the paint
so I only had a tiny bit of paint on my brush.
When the paint dried I sanded the edges of my tray then lightly sanded over the stencil to distress the buffalo plaid.
I sprayed the tray with a matte sealer when I was finished to protect the finish.
I'm loving this stencil and all the other gorgeous stencils at Old Sign Stencils and I think you will too!
As you can see the tray is the perfect addition to my living room. Love the pillows too? Check out my Amazon online shop!

ReplyDeleteI agree Pam! Black and white is my favorite... it is so graphic and clean looking :) Thanks for visiting!

I am a big fan of buffalo plaid, love rustic trays (in fact trays of all sorts), and can’t wait to embark upon this project! Wonderful post, thanks for the inspiration.
