I took over this area in our garage that already had a little cart/counter that my hubby made years ago. It’s just the right size for me to do projects, has space for me to keep some of the things I use a lot and has a nice light I can kick on so I can see what I’m doing.
I wanted to have somewhere I could put pictures, instructions, and ideas of things I might want to make. So I took an old cookie tray we had {clean, but old}.
Please note that just because your tray may be metal, this does not mean that it will hold magnets. You may need to use a magnetic paint on the tray first. {Don’t ask me how I know}.
I bought a blue craft paint to paint around the edging of the tray and did two coats.
I measured my scrapbook paper and cut it to size. I had to use about a sheet and a half to fit this tray. I chose to use a paper with a soft blue background and faint writing on it. While doing this, I thought that the blue paint was a bit too bright for the paper. I grabbed a can of oak stain that we had and wiped that over the blue to tone it down.
I put Mod Podge on the tray and on the paper, lining up the second piece as close as possible.
Once dry, I applied Mod Podge over the top of the whole thing. I still have to finish a couple of things, like finishing it off to hang over this little countertop. Then I’ll be able to put some of my potential projects up there for inspiration!
