Purchased a decoupage kit from Michael's....
And with a lot of cutting (around those rooster feet!) and some gluing it was done. I did spray it with clear poly spray because I will sometimes have drinks set on it.
Now it sits in the middle of my living room....
This was a fun easy project. I had never decoupaged before and really enjoyed it.
Welcome Home,
Penny

This is beautiful! Decoupaging is fun. I was trialing a project for my DIL's kindergarten class a few years ago & Mod Podged torn tissue on a cute hex shaped jam jar. Then beaded a length of wire to wrap around the threads of the jar. It made the cutest little vase & I felt like a kid again doing it. ☺ Diane
I love how this turned out! Now I will have to keep my eyes open for a thrift shop tray of my own:>)
How clever!

You know I am learning to decoupage myself. I didn't like it at first because of the stickiness, but now I am starting to like it. Your project came out great. Thx for sharing.
Penny, it's beautiful! What a great project with a thrift store find of $1.00.

It looks so elegant and beautiful in that room! I never even knew what decoupaging was but glad I do now!

Hi Penny! You're so excellent! I love what you did with the tray! I've never decoupaged anything before! Your home is so beautiful. Oh, I almost forgot! I saw your feature in the magazine! I can't remember if it was Romantic Homes or another one. But I love it!
Be a sweetie,
Shelia ;)
Penny, I love it! You did a great job on the tray! I love trays, too, and I have one which I have every intention of turning into a mosiaic of sorts. I had a gorgeous blown glass bowl in this wonderful color blue (the color of the sea) that was broken in transit. I saved all the pieces, and some day, I'm going to glue them to the inside bottom of this tray I found. :-)
Love, love, love yours!
XO,
Sheila
very nice! I love the look...
as always you come up with great ideas.....
Louise
You have the best looking house ever..........
You are just too talented, Penny.. I would never have thought about doing that. It really does give your room a new look. Congrats.

Your tray turned out so well it makes me want to run out and buy a decoupage kit right away. Your are so creative. I love your ideas!!
Hugs, Terrie
This is lovely!
That tray turned out so great. Love trays on ottomans. Love to decoupage. Mimi
Love it! I was thinking about doing the same thing. I am on the look out for a large metal or wooden tray. I always feel guilty about resting my feet on the coffee table. I know horrible habit, but I do own the place!
I also love to cut and paste so this a must do project!
Tres' Chic, indeed!
denise
That really looks cool! A woman I met some time ago use to do that on some things in her home. She really did a great job at it. One of these days I would love to start decoupaging on something..
Great tray, great job. mishelle
So pretty!
Morning Penny,
You know I am loving that tray! Isn't decoupage fun? I haven't done that in a long while...I may have to squeeze in a little project soon!!!
Hugs,

Decoupage opens a whole new world. I did a lot of it ten or so years ago and had a great time. I found some plates I made my MIL for Christmas one year..still in the box...oh dear! After some soul searching I sent them off to the Salvation Army..happy hunting for someone, somewhere.
Janet
Looks perfect in your room! Decopauge is so much fun - you can do so much with paper!
Manuela
Penny, using an ottoman as a table is a great idea. I love the tray. Cute!
My dear, your ability to make a silk purse out of a sow's ear, never ceases to amaze me :-)
Rhonda
OOO,, this turned out sooo pretty. Please make a file marked 2009 PROJECTS so that at the end of the year, you can go back and have them all ready for a posting...you always have such treasures when you finish a project!...I am going to do that because I can't remember from one month to another, much less a whole year..(remember...I'm old..*wink)
I have never tried decoupaging, either. I am always on the watch for good trays...maybe i'll find one soon.
xo bj
Penny what a lovely job you did.... decoupaging is such fun... I like the kit you used and the Roosters ... it has an old world feel..

HUGS

That turned out just beautiful!
Hi Penny
You did a great job on decoupaging the tray. It looks so good on the ottoman. I love how it turned out.
Hope you have a good weekend.

Penny, this is the first time I have visited this blog. Your tray project turned out lovely. I adore anything with roosters and chickens. I know you started a new blog and I am confused if the is the new one. I scrolled down and enjoyed it all. Good job.
Hugs...Jeanne
Penny,
I love your tray. What a wonderful idea! It is just beautiful. Now I want one too.
Great job!
Gretchen
Your tray turned out so beautifully, Penny! You know, I get so jealous of all you talented crafty gals, lol! I think 2009 is the year I will try more creativity...and I'll probably make a big mess in the process. I'm still peeking in to see uupdates on the birdie projects (from your other blog!).
Fabulous job on the tray Penny! Your ideas are always wonderful. Love your cozy home!!! Have a wonderful evening dear!
Hugs,
Maryjane

Nice touch, Penny! I have to concentrate on trying to declutter.
What a gorgeous and cozy room. I would like to sit there with a cup of tea and a great book. I have never tried decoupage, but long to. You did such a lovely job with this tray.
Karen
Exquisite penny! You worked magic on this tray! Enjoying this blog~xo chris
Well, I just love you new tray. I was thinking, okay, I could do that--cuz I love roosters! But, then you commented about those tiny little rooster feet...and, well, I still may try that. It looks awesome! Please stop by my blog if you have a chance, I have a dear friend who needs our prayers!
Hi Penny,
Your decoupage tray is beautiful. What a great idea to turn an old tray into a work of art. Thank you for sharing.
Have a wonderful creative week.
Erin
Wow! this turned out beautifully! I love that you kept the gold edging ... I never would have thought of wiping the paint off.
I forgot to mention that I'm having a giveaway on my blog if you have a chance to stop by.
