Trays + Repurposed 4

I collect and repurpose thrifted wooden trays and cutting boards (if you are a regular visitor that is no surprise). 

Below are a few recently finished pieces plus one wicker tray from an earlier post.



Lazy Susan Wooden Tray

 
This Lazy Susan tray has been waiting for a couple of years for repurposing. Three coats of ASCP White, CeCe Caldwell Grey for the stenciled wreath plus stenciled Patisserie and the cupcake serving tray is ready. Finished with clear wax and a polish.

Before and after below.

Cutting Board Stenciled BINGO
  

Found a rather 'loud' patterned cutting board. Stenciled BINGO (stencil from Donna of Funky Junk Interiors) using CeCe Caldwell Beckley Coal with a heavy hand (made sure the black was very black by stenciling over the stenciled letters when they were dry). Finished with hemp oil.

Wicker Tray Upgraded

Here is one of my favorite tray repurposing projects from earlier this year.

Footed Painted White Cake Server
 

A footed wooden cake/cupcake server was painted CeCe Caldwell Simply White and stenciled using Annie Sloan Old Violet.

Just in case you want to know - stenciling words on a not so very large round tray with a raised edge is NOT easy. 

I attempted 2 different regular 12" square French Pastry stencils (chosing just the words I wanted to use) and had to wipe off and repaint the tray surface with CeCe Simply White twice. I could not get the plastic area I needed to be flat enough to stencil properly - not enough fingers to hold the curved plastic flat and I didn't want to cut the plastic stencil into conveniently sized pieces.The repainting certainly slowed down the project. 

Finally chose a simple design that was on a smaller sized stencil.

The Fleur de lis is centered on a white cake or cupcake server and finished with clear wax.
