How to Make a Bed Tray
I found this little table at the thrift store,
pretty ugly but $2 and it had potential.

I started out by painting it with chalky paint in an off white.
It went on really smooth and dried almost instantly.
I felt like I was painting with heavy cream.
So far, so good...
When it was dry I traced on a design using carbon paper
and an image from the Graphic Fairy.
Next I tried something new, I used a black paint stick to
fill in the design instead of a brush and paint. It is important to choose oil based so the paint dries hard for the next step.
It worked great!
Next I sanded and distressed the whole piece.
It sanded beautifully and came out as smooth as glass!
The oil paint stick distressed beautifully too.
I hope you enjoyed this project and you'll take a look at my Amazon Shop for craft supplies I recommend. Also while you're here please sign up for the Homeroad emails on my sidebar so I can send my latest DIY post straight to you.
