I found these old white dinner trays = the metal kind that are sort of hinky---in that they are a bit lop sided and have some rusting and dents...good bones and good enough for my little guy...
I pulled out my trusty spray paint and gave it a spray of primer in white then used a fun vibrant color of red (also helps to promote a good appetite) to the tray and did some free hand painting over all of it - all free hand. The message around the tray reads:
"EAT ALL YOUR FOOD AND PICK UP YOUR DISHES - LOVE YOU" simple and to the point...but no worries after every meal I still have to remind him to pick up his dishes. After all, he is only 5!!!
Like I said one too many times - spray paint is a wonderful thing. It's cheap and can make over and do-up just about anything....
I hope you have a crafty week and come back by again soon.
I am linking this up to the following parties this week...

What a fun project and really great idea!! Looks great!! Hope you had a good Mother's Day!!HUGS :)
This came out really nice - I love how you took something beat up and made it into something pretty!
I wonder if the tray is magnetic, too? I was thinking about all those refrigerator magnet toys & how it can be used for that, too.
Helpful information. Lucky me I discovered your website by accident, and I'm stunned why this coincidence didn't happened earlier!
I bookmarked it.
