DIY gold tray

I love an easy DIY which can be customised in a million different ways. Like this gold zig-zag tray. 

I spent £1.50 on plastic black tray from a charity shop and I used some gold and white craft paints from my previous projects. 

I think it came out really nice. Looks really pretty on the living room table with few bits and bobs. It would also look great on a entry table for keys and mail. Depends what shape your tray is. 

So this is what you need:

An old tray ( wooden/plastic, glass) 

white acrylic paint

gold metallic spray paint or a gold leaf ( I've used spray paint)

masking tape 

Step 1

Paint the tray with your desired colour ( I've used clean white)

Let it dry

Step 2

Use the masking tape to draw out any shape you want on the bottom of the tray. I've made an aztec/chevron design. Make sure that the tape is securely  attached 

Step 3

Spray with a gold spray paint ( or use gold leaf)

Let it dry 

Step 4

Gently remove the masking tape and spray two light coats of acrylic spray

Step 5

Use it! 

What do you think?

Have a wonderful week!
