I painted on Folk Art Home Decor Wood Tint in the color Walnut with my Plaid paint brush.
After painting each section until it was fully covered, I let it sit for 30 seconds or more, and I wiped excess off with a old rag cloth.
I let it dry completely and I love how it brought out the texture of in the wood. I am so in love with this stain and the best part is that it’s water based!
I left it as is, and you could put a top coat on if you like to protect it.

Fantastic Target score! I would have grabbed the tray too, so much you can do with them. Stain, paint mod podge . . . Like having these for just as you have styled, snacks and reading material. Also like when doing projects, keeps items together and easy to move if not finished. Makes a wonderful gift idea too, maybe with a stencil or phrase on it. So many possibilities!
I agree Naomie so much fun and so many possibilities. Thanks for sharing how you use your trays and love the gift idea – ooh how much fun would that be to create and personalize.
That came out adorable!
Thank you so much Tamar 🙂

Chas, looks beautiful – and doable! I could use a handy-sized little tray or two like that. #SeniSal
Thank you so much Jean, they are quite handy, I think that’s why I have a varied collection of them in my house.
I love that little section of Target! Okay, full disclosure I love all of Target but that section is just so fun 😉

Thank you for sharing Marty and I totally agree. There is always something new in that area that seems to catch my eye and attention. Thanks for stopping by.
I am pinning this one. I want one of these trays I would use it all year!
Happy crafting,

Thanks Kippi for the Pin and you’re so right, they’re great all year around. I kind of am a tray junky as I have quite a few of them around the house because they’re so handy.

Turned out great and Target saw me coming when they created that section. I cannot walk by it without looking ( and usually buying)! Featuring when my party opens tonight. Hope you’re continuing to do well 🙂
Thank you so much Carol for the feature. I honestly believe we must be related as we think a lot alike and like the same things 🙂 Thanks for the well wishes – I’m doing doing good thank you. Slow and steady recovery.
