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!:)
