Upcycled Rustic Teal Pumpkin Tray

I was cleaning out and throwing away when I ran across a footed tray I found at the thrift store a while back.

The tray wore out it's welcome at my house, things come and go very often. 


Often my things are shared with my daughters that have houses end up back here again. 


I decided before I sent it back to the thrift store I'd try to up-cycle it for the fall. 


I began by painting the tray Raw Silk by Fusion Mineral Paint. You can find a Fusion Mineral Paint dealer near you by visiting this bold link. 


I gave it only one coat because I was going for a very rusty look in the end.

Using a pumpkin stencil from a Holiday Stencil pack, I cut the cardboard into a circle so it would fit on the tray and be easier to use. 


I stenciled the pumpkin with Robin's Egg Blue chalk paint.

I put the handles back on the tray and put it in front of a fan to dry.

I antiqued the tray with a gel stain then sealed it with Fusion Mineral Paint Tough Coat Poly.

I'm glad I gave this little tray a second look before I sent it back to the thrift store. I love the way it came out!
