Finally....my pics of the dresser tray are loaded and ready to go. I picked up this old plaque at The Love of Jesus for $1.00! I think the guy at the counter thought I had lost my mind for buying it and decided to give me a bargin. Anyway, this is what it looked like when I bought it....apparently someone took the important part and gave the rest away. : ) It's thick and heavy so it should stand the test of time.
After pulling the felt and metal plate off I primed the plaque using Kilz 2. Then I painted it using Benjamin Moore Super Spec semi gloss white. (both the Kilz and white paint I had left over from painting trim) After painting I hemed a piece of fabric I had left over from a previous project to fit inside the frame. I measured the inside of the plaque and had a piece of glass cut to fit at Lowes. So here's the low down on the cost of this project:
Plaque: $1.00
Paint and Primer: Free
Fabric: Free
Glass: $3.49
That makes a grand total of just $4.49! So there you have it this beautiful tray to hold my perfume and whatnot on my dresser for less than $5.00!
Here's the finished project:
That looks great! I love the fabric inside.
ReplyDeleteI bought this fabric with black flowers and red ones....originally in my first house I had the black on the windows and then the red framed on the wall....haven't gotten to the MBR yet in this house so hopefully you'll see this fabric again some day when I get around to redoing the upstairs : )
