1. ₤10 Mind-blowing Farmhouse Trays DIY Tutorial Hi there, sweet buddies! You understand how I enjoy a great thrift shop find. Well, I found these vintage wooden folding trays hiding at a regional Goodwill and, at just $5 for a set of four, I couldn't pass them up! I do not understand if you've ever attempted trying to find folding trays, however let me inform you-- they can be so dang costly! A minimum of the stylish ones are. I had been looking for a set for a while, however none were in a cost variety I might justify costs. So, when I stumbled upon these folding trays at Goodwill, I believed it would be fun to provide a little chippy, farmhouse-style transformation! The important things I enjoy about folding trays is that they're portable, so they can be moved basically wherever you need them. In our house, we often utilize them as a makeshift side table, for eating in front of the TV and even while I'm blogging from the couch. And then I can save them away out of sight whenever they're not being utilized! It's in fact really practical, and I love that. The folding trays that I selected up at Goodwill were quite worn-- they had clearly been adoringly utilized for several years and had actually seen much better days! I desired to provide a vintage farmhouse feel while including some handpainted lettering. I truly love how they ended up! PRODUCTS set of folding trays chalk paint (I used Amy Howard in bauhaus buff + black). clear satin polycrylic (I've always used Minwax). medium-sized paint brush (I swear by Purdy brushes! They last permanently!). fine-tip paint brush. 50-grit sandpaper.

2. pack of cloth rags. coloured chalk. printer paper (8.5 x 11 size). clear tape. fine-point marker, black. ballpoint pen. determining tape. TOOLS. orbital palm sander. printer. PicMonkey (complimentary online photo editing tool). BlockPosters (free poster making tool). GUIDELINES. 1. Clean down each folding tray with a wet fabric rag for a clean surface area. Use two coats of Bauhaus buff (or another white) chalk paint, and let dry. (NOTE: With chalk paint, there's no need to sand the surface area before painting.). 2. As the chalk paint is drying, measure the length and width of the tray top. Utilize those measurements to create a typography design on PicMonkey. To do this, you'll pick "Design," then "Custom" and enter your dimensions in pixels (I utilized unitconversions.org to convert from inches to pixels). Next, you'll choose your fonts (mine were Black Jack, Special Elite and Quicksand) and create your style, saving it as a JPG. 3. Upload your style to BlockPosters by selecting "Create Your Poster." Then, pick "Upload Your Image" and customise your poster to be two pages large, picture, letter and have a border. Select "Create My Poster" and print on two pieces of 8.5 x 11 paper, which you'll then tape together on the back so that the words line up on each page. 4. Once the chalk paint has completely dried, rub the coloured chalk onto the BACK of the printed poster (not the style side), and location it chalk side down centred on the tray top so that the design side is facing up. Next, tape the edges of the poster down onto the tray, and trace the overview of the style with a ballpoint pen. This will transfer the chalk to the tray top. Thoroughly get rid of the poster, and set aside. 5. Trace the chalk outline with a fine-point marker. Once the mirrored tv cabinet living room furniture ink is dry, utilize a slightly moist cloth rag to eliminate the chalk overview so that just the marker outline stays. 6. Fill out the chalk overview with black chalk paint using a fine-tip brush. Let dry. 7. Then, utilize an orbital sander to (lightly) ravel the handpainted lettering and distress the edges of each folding
