Moroccan Tea Tray Makeover

http://fixlovely.blogspot.ca/2014/02/moroccan-tea-tray-makeover.html
You take a cheap, boring old tea tray...


Paint several coats of metallic (acrylic) paint on it. I used purple....

Use a stencil in a nice contrasting metallic paint: 


Using some pretty scrapbooking adhesive bead strips, stick them around the edge (can use matching or contrasting colors!)

Outline the stencil with a good color to make it pop out. I used a calligraphy pen in metallic gold.

Here you are!
It's a good idea to top it off with about three coats of clear poly, to protect the paint.


And done!
