My Giveaway Loot and a Tray Makeover

Hello, and Happy Friday! 

So, sweet Stephanie Lynn hosted a giveaway recently, and I won!! I was so excited when this arrived on my doorstep...

I was itching to use that pretty green and white shelf paper and I knew just what I wanted to do with it. Remember when I mentioned I was going to do a little tray makeover? Here's the tray I was talking about...

I bought it for $1 at Target about a year ago. It's been waiting all this time for me to make it pretty. :) As y'all know, I finally got a New Pouf For The Living Room. I tend to use it as a side table at times. I love it, but since it's kind of squishy, I couldn't rest my coffee cup on it. Then I remembered I had this tray and thought it would be perfect. 

I started by spray painting it Heirloom White. 

Here's the shelf liner I used from my prize pack...

And just look at what it says..."great for use as a coaster!" That's pretty much exactly what I was going to be using it for!

I started by tracing my tray on the back of the shelf liner. 

Then I just cut it out and popped it in my tray! Quickest project ever!

I love how it turned out!

Here's a close up. I love the green print.

And here it is doing its job of holding my coffee cup (actually, that's tea in my coffee cup, but whatever) :)

I love that I can now have my tea close by when lounging on the sofa reading blogs or watching tv. 

And of course I can't leave you without a side by side before and after comparison...

Not bad for a dollar, huh? 

I'm sure I'll get plenty of use out of the rest of the products I was sent as well. I'll keep ya'll posted on what I create. :)
