Painted wood file tray


I really like the new DecoArt Multi-Surface Satin Acrylic Paint - I'm going to be using these bright seasonal colors on lots of projects, I think!


After sanding the wood, I painted one coat of each color and dry brushed brown around the edges to distress it. I painted the bottom and back of the tray with brown, too.

I added a sepia-toned image of leaves and pinecones to the front panel using Craft Attitude printable film. Then I finished it off with some bronze-tone metal accents. Perfect for keeping pretty scrap papers and envelopes on hand.
