I decided it was high-time I show our furry friends some love around the house. Well, decor love. Hugs, kisses, walks and treats they get plenty of from our big family! But, for years these poor dogs have had mismatched bowls randomly put on the floor for their food and water. The bowls got kicked around, the water often spilled, and the food seemed to always be all around the bowl, but not actually in the bowl. This weekend I upgraded their serving dishes for the cost of some table legs and a simple serving tray. They love their fancy dishes and I bet your pets will too!
Here’s what I used:
- Bamboo Serving Tray (found at the stores, online or even at the Goodwill!)
- Peel & Stick Wallpaper (I had some left over from a previous project, but it’s fairly inexpensive to buy. Especially if you only need a small roll!)
- White and Gold Spray Paint
- Glue (I used Gorilla Glue. Just make sure you are using glue that works on wood and metal!)
- Rockler 6″ Hairpin Table Legs
Here’s how I made them:
I started by spray painting the tray white and the legs gold.
Next, I measured and cut the wallpaper to fit the interior of the tray.
After removing the backing, I slowly applied the wallpaper to the bottom of the tray (starting at one side and working my way across the base), making sure to press any trapped air bubbles out the sides with my hands.
The final step was to attach the legs. Even though the legs came with sturdy screws, the bamboo tray is extremely thin wood. I opted to use glue in place of the screws. I allowed the glue to dry overnight.
That’s it – it’s finished! I love a quick and simple project that serves as a useful and beautiful item for my family!
