Old Tray New Tray


My husband and I received, from a former co-worker who is no longer with us, a lovely white porcelain formed tray with leaves inlaid around the edges. 

Years ago the edge chipped but I was able to superglue it back together . I have used it from time to time but the corner edge has started to look too shaby. I planned to discard it but then thought of this:

A packet of fancy napkins. Note, these napkins can usually be separated into three sheets like this:
Using only the printed sheet and mod podge and a soft brush I did this:
I did the underside too . Its starting to look good! Be sure to work out the air bubbles that form . A pin works well here.
I will do 3-4 coats of the glue. Then I plan to seal it with a food safe urethane. I love it again. Not dishwasher safe but pretty and wipeable ! Yay!
