This was just your plain tv tray table that I have had forever. They came in a set of four. Although, I think now WalMart sells them individually. I did not sand it first because I wanted it to have character. I spray it with Krylon Ocean Blue. After it dried I sanded some of it off around the edges and in various spots. I printed the letter B off of my computer on regular paper and had my son color a big square around the backside of the B with a lead pencil. I laid the B facing up on the top of the table and traced it. Where he had colored came off when I traced so now I had my outline. I traced over it wil a fine tip sharpie and then filled it in by hand with black paint. Simple and quick project. Everyone that comes over loves it and wants to know how I did it.

I've got three of those tables, all in various stages of age...this would be a perfect idea to revitalize them! :D

Wow that is a great transformation! I'd use these all the time. Now I'll keep an eye out for these at the thrift store.
ReplyDeleteI'm a Gemini too and totally have more than one project going on at once! Have a great weekend!
I have a burgundy themed room and want to do this to my light colored trays? How did you get it to have such a rustic look. The sandpaper? Awesome idea! Thanks so much.
