My cousin Jenn is getting married in a week and this Sunday is her bridal shower. She lives in England with her very-tall-dark-and-handsome almost hubby with a lovely Brit accent (why does everything sound better with an accent, especially a British one?). They have decided to get married in Toronto and I can't wait! I wanted to put a little extra love into her gift because I love her, so I turned to the no fail online reference for a DIY gift otherwise known as Pinterest. The possibilities are endless and after some searching I settled on this
DIY Chalkboard Serving Tray. It was super easy and fun to do and I love the finished product. I hope it gets lots of use!
With Love,
Keri Tea
I decided on this board, 10" wide and 3' long
Gorilla glue, Chalkboard paint and stain (Early American
as recommended in the Pinterest instructions)
I had the very helpful Home Depot employee cut a foot off
the board, making my tray 2 feet long
After applying and leaving the stain on for about
10 minutes I used a paper towel to remove the excess
So happy with the stain!
After taping off the stained border I applied two coats of
Chalkboard paint
After removing the tape
With the handles that I chose, looks awesome!
All wrapped up and ready to go!
