I recently bought a plain tray at Goodwill for .50. I wasn’t sure just what I would do with it, but for that price, I couldn’t pass it up. Once I thought about how to give it a new look, I decided a coastal makeover would be just right for this.

Gather supplies. Paint the tray using chalk paint. I used Salmon Coral from Folk Art.
I gave it two coats, allowing it to dry between each coat. One bonus of using chalk paint is how quickly it dries. Plus, it has very little odor.
Attach the rope along the inner rim of the tray using hot glue.
Paint the anchor with chalk paint. I used Celery from Waverly Paints. Attach the anchor to the tray with hot glue.
Attach a sea shell at the point where the ends of the rope meet. It's attached with hot glue.
The finished tray is a great addition to my coastal decor.
I added a couple of coffee mugs with sea shells on them that i purchased from Kirkland's. This thrift store find now makes a prety serving tray for coffee and a snack.
