{Thrifty Thursday} A Chalkboard Serving Tray

Hi friends! Welcome to another installation of Thrifty Thursday! Once again I'll be sharing with you a thrifty find that I have upcycled into something fun, and today it's a chalkboard serving tray. I picked up this cute little silver tray from my local Goodwill a couple of months ago. It had quite a bit of wear, but at just $2, I couldn't pass it up! I had bigger things in mind for it...

So today I finally got around to fixing her up! I cleaned the tray, used frog tape to tape off the inset of the tray, then taped newspapers to the outside to protect the edges.

Then just a couple coats of chalkboard spray paint and voila! A perfectly cute little chalkboard tray that looks adorable in our kitchen!

Now since I just painted the tray this afternoon, I still need to give it 24 hours to dry before using chalk on it. However, I can see something like a menu or cute saying in its future...
