How to Make a Wooden Wine Barrel Footed Tray
Sometimes a thrift store find just needs a tiny tweak to make it perfect!
This tray was beautiful when I found it, great wrought iron handles and a beautiful wine barrel image.
But I had an idea to make it even better!
At one time I found a whole bag of wooden candle holders.
I knew when I found them they would make great bun feet someday.
Today was that day, I added 4 to the bottom of this tray using wood glue and screws.
You can see the very light finish this tray had when I found it in this photo.
My next step was to paint the entire bottom of the tray black.
When the bottom was dry I used my new favorite antiquing stain over the top of the tray.
I recently found a product made by Fusion Mineral Paint called Antiquing Tough Coat. It is a stain and matte sealer in one and is a gorgeous color! Check with your nearest Fusion Mineral Paint dealer for more information.
The small additions I made to this tray gave it a great new look!
Sometimes it only takes a little tweaking to make a
thrift store find perfect!
