I revealed our Picture Gallery Wall in our family room yesterday in this post. Today I wanted to show you how I transformed the tray to be a one of a kind piece that will always have significance to our family.
This was the tray when I purchased it from Home Sense. I loved it the moment I saw it but wasn't thrilled about the number 5 on it. I was able to unscrew the wood tray, flip it over and paint whatever I wanted.
Price was just right....
I took all of the screws out and flipped it over....
Blank canvas to work with.....
I wanted to paint something on the wood that represented us as a family. I could have painted the number "3" on it, but I wanted something unique that represented us where we are now. We are loving our time here in Calgary (who wouldn't with the view of the Canadian Rocky Mountains) and so I thought of the Canadian flag and the Maple Leaf....
I downloaded the leaf onto my Silhouette Cameo, cut it out and traced it onto the wood with a pencil....
Then I picked out a color of acyrlic paint and painted the leaf....
I then hung it on the wall after it dried....
