I have had an "African" theme in our living
room for quite some time.

Since I got married...and even before then,
during my single days.
during my single days.
The reason is that I had brought things back from when I did some mission/orphanage work in West Africa 10 years ago.
Back to the tray,
I chose some pictures out of the newspaper,
because I wanted to give it an "older" look.
This is a step by step on the transformation process.
Can you tell I am a visual learner?

I really like the new look.
Cost of this project...practically nothing.
The homemade modpodge is very inexpensive and goes a long way.
Stay Frugal,

Good Evening Daniela, What a transformation....the tray looks so very different and at no cost! Like you, I am also a visual learner, I find if someone shows me how to do something, I pick it up much quicker than if I have to read how to do it.
Lovely to catch up with you.
Best wishes
Daphne
Glad to know the homemade mod podge recipe works!

Cool idea! It's a great look!

What a great idea Dani! Love it - looks sort of industrial ( chic ) with the newspaper print!

I love animals, but not so much your before tray. I do like the images you chose to use from the newsprint it turned out great.
Great transformation Dani!! I love the newspaper/typography prints and do they look good on this tray :)

Looks great, Dani. It really made a big change, didn't it? xo Diana I had an African themed guest bedroom and my daughter just loved it. When we moved I gave her the room for her new house and now it is like visiting an old friend.
I never would have guessed you for a visual learner :)...just kidding! This project turned out great. I love the updated look.
It is a great transformation that can go in any theme!
I love this project! MP, homemade or bought, makes it so easy to transform practically anything. Your newsprint tray looks fabulous!
Looks great, totally transformed.
Blessings,

I didn't even know you could make homemade modpodge. This tray is as good as new, and the best part is you put your charming touch on it.
XOXO,

I'm also a visual learner, I love pictures! :) Your new tray looks great!
I like it too! It's fun to change things up, especially when you can do it with things you have on hand. You are so clever.
