How to Make a Weathered Look Beach Tray

Bring the beach home with this upcycled craft ideas like this fun project. Learn how to make a Weathered look Beach Tray from Tiffany Windsor using a plain wooden piece you can find at a dollar store. Use stencils and paint for this fun craft.

Look for a plain wooden tray that can be easily altered. Don't spend a lot on this piece; in fact, the cheap the tray, the better! You can create a striped pattern using blue painters tape. Use a sponge to apply several coats of paint to the tray. Adhere stenciled letters to tray and paint around them, covering the entire area of the tray. Carefully lift the letters and allow the paint to dry. Use this tray to display shells, candles, and other cool summery items.
