I found this large wooden tray at Goodwill in August.  See below how I gave it a makeover!

The tray isn't sealed and it has a few grease spots on it.  I sprayed the greasy spots with Krud Kutter Degreaser, and then washed it down with hot soapy Dawn Dish Soap and a rag.

Next, I pulled out a  Moroccan stencil I received from Dixie Belle Paint Company The pattern is 14" x 18", a good size for the large tray.

I then centered the stencil on the tray bottom, and taped it on with blue painter's tape.

I pounced on the stencil using Fusion Mineral Paint in Raw Silk.

After I had stenciled the entire stencil area, I moved the stencil to the right and to the left to continue the stenciling.

I put a piece of tape on the desired border of the stencil to be added.  (I wanted the stenciling to be equidistant on all tray sides.

After the paint was dry, I wiped on Fusion Mineral Paint Hemp Oil as a protectant.  The hemp oil darkened the wood tone a bit.

The tray is quite large but looks pretty good on my coffee table.

I decorated the tray with fall themed and colored items.
