1. Athena Stencil
Be ready to pick your jaw up off the ground with this gorgeous diy stenciled beauty! Meet Carmela who has a no fear-no rules design attitude, a passion for stenciling, and a fab home decor blog called Our Fifth House. She had an old coffee tray laying around that she had painted white. She decided to get crafty with it and give it some bling. That is a little Athena Stencil in gold, bling! You can check out her blog for the deets but here is the final result! All we can say is WOW!!
2. Harlequin Trellis Stencil
Let me introduce you to Hanni, the creative DIYer and blogger behind Craftionary. Hanni bought a simple wooden tray from Ikea and planned on using it on her side table but its lackluster appeal had it crying for a makeover. Hanni loves stenciling and knew this was the perfect item to stencil. Out came the Harlequin Trellis Stencil and some paint and WAH-LA! Here is her simple to make, pattern filled tray!
3. Trellis Allover Stencil
Meet Janell, the fabulous interior designer and blogger behind the House of Fifty. Janell had an oversized wooden tray, measuring 18" x 24". The simple tray needed some color and pattern to give it a POP. So Janell chose the Trellis Allover Stencil along with some ivory and gray colored paint. She has a post on her blog about how to stencil a tray so I won't bore you with the details but I will WOW you with the results. AMAZING! Now imagine what breakfast might look like served on that!
And here we have our friend Tonia, the fab mom of three, DIY crafter, and blogger behind The Gunny Sack. Tonia had been thrift shopping when she spotted some vintage metal trays that needed some tender lovin' care. With her craft hat on; she snatched it up in second because it was perfect for a stenciling. She started by watching our detailed how-to videos. Then using our Casablanca Craft Stencil along some acrylic craft paint in black, silver metallic, and glitter she got started. Tonia says, "And I LOVE how it turned out!" We have to agree that we do too!
So that’s it folks! We are sure that adding a stenciled decorative tray to your breakfast in bed routine will surprise her in more ways than one! Which stenciled tray is your favorite?
