Hello beautiful and crafty friends!

I hope you are having a fabulous summer! We are busy, busy over here! What’s new? haha!

Today I’m sharing a metal tray that’s part of that “smalls” haul I have been sharing.

Metal Tray Makeover (goth to glam!)

I’ve done quite a few of them already! Want to see them? Check them out here…

The dark oval tray on the right side of the bench is today’s makeover.

Not very exciting as it is!

So let’s glam it up!

I began by cleaning it up with some TSP Alternative. Then gave it a couple of coats of Victorian Lace.

This pretty “gilded” floral transfer is going in the middle.

Since the flowers are gilded with gold, I decided to paint the handles with gold and all of the “rivets” too.

Once the transfer was done I applied a coat of Tough Coat Topcoat in Matte all over.
