Today is the day for the Spring Blogger Challenge lead by Susan from Momcrieff our leader and founder Carole at Garden Up Green.

I joined with 7 other creative bloggers for our #bloggerchallenge to use Mod Podge and Fabric to recycle any object we wanted.

All the project links are listed below so you can check out all the talented ladies project.

Painting 

For my project I decided to recycled a wooden tray that I had.

It was unfinished, so I decided to paint the tray white.white wooden tray restyled using fabirc and mod podge

Here is a similar wood tray if you are thinking of making a tray for yourself.  Wood Tray

Supplies:

Wood Tray (my tray was a 10″ x 12″)

Brush (any type) but I love my Purdy brushes

Mod Podge

Fabric 

Adding Fabric

I went through my fabric stash and found this chevron black and white fabric that I thought would look nice as a bottom to the tray.

Next I measured out my fabric and trimmed to fit the bottom of the tray.

Pour a little of the mod podge directly onto the bottom of the tray. Spread with a paint brush to cover the bottom of the tray.

I placed the cut fabric on the bottom of the mod podge covered tray and smoothed.Upcycled tray using mod podge and fabric

There you have it. A quick fun way to give an updated look to a plain boring tray.

Have you ever used Mod Podge?

There are so many things you can make using Mod Podge. Let your imagination run wild.

    Hi Bon Bon,

    Your tray looks great with just that little bit of added texture, yet still fits in great with your farmhouse feel.
    Always great working with you and the others on these fun challenges.
    Happy Spring!

    Good Morning!

    You jazzed up and refreshed this white tray with the perfect choice of chevron fabric!
    I have a very similiar white tray and you have inspired me to get into my fabric drawer and get going.
    Wishing you a super Monday,
    Jemma

    I like that material the pattern is very eye catching and what a perfect way to jazz up a tray. I want to say those Purdy paint brushes are fantastic, I use them for staining and they make the process such a breeze. Happy Spring Bon Bon and as always a joy to work with you.

    I absolutely love a tray; they can be used anywhere in decorating. The fabric brings a nice, but plain tray to life! Great job on the challenge!

    White and gray are just the perfect color combination in my world. I just think it always look so fresh and clean. Love how you made that simple white tray look totally different. Now it looks much more like a higher end decor piece!

    Hi BonBon – Your tray is so pretty and I love how a simple update made such a big impact. Your fabric is definitely a winner – you really can’t go wrong with chevron, in my opinion!

    I so enjoyed working with you again on this challenge. Happy spring to you!
