9 minutes and no mullah! New to me tray.



Someone at work was throwing away this wooden tray.  It had a divider missing from the center.
  It probably was one of those keys, coin, jewelry holders in it's past life. 

Before... 


Cardboard insert, ugly just needs covered up right?


....and now after... a great anything tray.

                                

Did I mention totally FREE.  I had the fabric scrap from a previous curtain creation.  Out of Africa and into my very useful tray.  And yes for you OC folks, I still have some glue removal to take care of.

                               

Total makeover time 10 minutes, to cut and tape the fabric down around ugly black felt cardboard insert.  I'm on the lookout for some great looking handles for the sides.

I'm playing with free friday see Here

  2. I was just telling Melissa how much I liked your blog! You are giving me new perspective on old items. It's not helping me with the 'cleaning out' of my stuff, but it's helping my creative juices!! :O)
