Today I want to talk about a project I made a couple weekends ago! As most of you know I’ve been obsessed with making things with maps and so this is the last of my map projects. I am not a fan of TV trays but I have a boyfriend who is and he’s always asking me to get tv trays for my apartment. So while I was at a estate sale with my mom I found this tray.
I thought it was ugly but I had a vision for it!! I decided to paint it red. I used rustoleum since it was metal.
I loved the color once I got it on! Next I decided to decoupage a map on. The map I decided on was a kind of blown out map that was in the front of the national geographic that I’ve used on all these projects. My mom got it at an estate sale for $1!!
I then started to decoupage it onto the TV tray. The map was a little weirdly shaped but eventually I got it where I wanted it!
Before it was ready to use I put some mod podge sealant on it so that it wouldn’t be affected if it got wet or dirty! And then I was done!
I think it turned out perfect and now there is no need to have ugly TV trays in my apartment!
Make sure you come back tomorrow because I’m co-Hosting Tell Me Tuesday with Lil’ Mrs. Tori!
Wow! I have not seen one of those in a while! I used to have a small tv gray when I was a little girl. I think it had Strawberry shortcake on it! Love the redo! Using the maps is very clever! I hope he likes it! Gina @ Gina’s Craft Corner
Guys like trays because they’re happy to sit in front of the TV while they eat. What’s up with that??!!

Ooooh Cara -I love maps too! What a fun upcycle!!
I think it turned out pretty well if I do say so myself
Well, I have sprayed mine red and that is where I left it! I’m inspired now!
You know whats I got it painted red I thought I could just leave it like that but I think the map really added to it!
