Blue Tin Metal Tray Repurposed Chalkboard

 Blue Tin Metal Tray Repurposed Chalkboard. Welcome to Second Time Treasures! This is a tray I had found while thrifting a while back. With this tray I also found 2 really retro looking ones, and 2 red ones as well. With most things it is my first time repurposing, and upcycling different pieces. I thought this would be cute as a chalkboard, but am sorry to say places I checked I could not find the spray chalkboard. So, I ended up getting a bottle of the liquid chalkboard paint, and used a sponge to apply it. Now....I know why the spray is more effective, and recommended. You do not see the
lines of application with the spray as you do with the sponge application. But, this is the completed project I had done with this tray. I wish I had another tray like this to do another one, but this was the only one found. I have tested it, and it is writable, and works as it should which is good. Now, I am thinking of different methods to add something to this that it can hang, and be used. Wish me luck...a working progress:)

When you have a chance, visit with my Artfire Store to see some of the vintage pieces I am offering for sale....have sold 3 pieces past couple of weeks:) Also, I have some inventory of my repurposed pieces listed there, and pieces done recently will soon be added. Working on pieces to build my inventory to offer to everyone:)

Thanks for visiting Second Time Treasures, and hope you enjoyed your visit with me. Feel free to visit my other pages....which actually take you to my main blog showing everything. Thanks again, and have a wonderful day everyone!:)

Mikasa Cake Plate Stand 3 Tier Repurposed

Mikasa Cake Plate Stand 3 Tier Repurposed

Welcome to Second Time Treasures, and glad to have you here! I wanted to stop by quickly, and show ya'll another picture of another project I have completed. My 1st 3 tier cake plate stand made using a Mikasa Dinner Plate, and Miksasa Saucer Plate, then I used a Yellow Alco Salad Plate. I connected the pieces together with glass candle holeders that are matching. Another project repurposed with items not selling with different venues I have used. I don't want to throw them out, don't want to give them away, and so I have repurposed them to this. All the plates are in like new condition, and the glass candle holders are in a new condition too. When I have posted this for sale along with other items I have done, I will surely note it here for all of you to visit. Till then, hope you enjoy this before, and after pictures of this. Thanks for visiting with Second Time Treasures, and hope to see you again. Always welcome to comment, and share with everyone here too.
