I wanted to do something funky, something interesting, and I wanted to paint! So I painted 12 constellations on the tray.

• Spray paint – I could have easily used normal paint, but I wanted a more seamless coverage so I chose spray paint.
• Paints in as many colours as you need for the design – we have quite the extensive collection of colours to chose from so it’s less of an issue. I use DecoArt’s acrylics which you can shop online //  here //
• Acrylic Paint Brush Set 
• High gloss sealer //  here //
• 4 table leg anchors
• Round Taper Table Leg
• Quick-Setting Epoxy Syringe
• Bamboo serving tray from  Wayfair.ca

Make sure your tray is clean and dry before you spray paint it. Spray paint at will! It will take two to three coats to ensure even coverage and a good hue. Remember to spray from about 20cm away and in a sweeping motion to avoid pooling paint and splotches.

Stain your furniture feet, spray paint the metal portion, and seal. When I bought the feet they were untreated wood, so I used some stain we had kicking around the house to cover them up nicely. I then used some gold spray paint to transform the feet from brushed nickel to gold, and then I coated them with a seal to ensure their longevity.

Glue the furniture anchors to the bottom of your dry tray. You’ll be using a wood/metal epoxy, likely in a double syringe injector that requires mixing on the surface, so make sure you have a stick near by to mix them on the back of the tray.

Paint your design on the surface of the tray. I used a couple of constellation artistic renderings to inspire me in my choices. 

Once your masterpiece is dry – and I mean bone dry – coat the surface, sides, handles, etc. with Mod Podge to seal the tray and prevent damage while using it. You can lightly sand between coats to erase any ridges 

I love the taper on the legs – I think they’re the perfect addition to this tray.
