{ Hometalk- Charming Tray Makeovers }

September 19, 2013 by Fotini Filed Under: crafts, diy, Hometalk, projects, tray makeovers

How do you become inspired for your next project? Do you search the house looking to revamp or makeover items? Browse the thrift stores or yard sales for items to bring back to life? I tend to do both, and I do it often! I finish a project only to be consumed with another, and another! One of my favorite places to browse and gather inspiration is Hometalk!

You can search for specific projects or categories create a board, clip it and share! It’s a fabulous way to collect a lot of inspiration for every aspect of the home!

Today I have the pleasure of sharing the topic “Charming Tray Makeovers” with you! If you’ve followed along with me previously, you know that I’ve shared two of my own tray makeovers which you can view here and here!

Whether your style is fun and bright or rustic and refined, you’re sure to find a project to fit your preference! Check them all out here! There are so many creative ways to make your own trays too! I think these would make wonderful housewarming gifts that you could easily personalize with their initial or last name! 
With a little bit if time, effort and creativity, you can create a one-of-a-kind piece! Here’s just a few of my favorites that I clipped to my board!

Make a Branch Handled Tray from Funky Junk Interiors
Creating a “Vintage” Wooden Tray from One Tough Mother
DIY French Cottage Tray from Upcycled Treasures

DIY Chalkboard Tray Wall Art from Live Laugh Rowe

And that’s just a peek of the creativity waiting for you to explore over there, so get going!!
