Hello Craft lovers,

I am Manasa Priya from Upcycled :)

Today I am here at Nakshathra Designz blog with an easy and useful piece of work, 'The Everyday' tray and coasters set. This was kept simple keeping in mind the kind of usage.

I created this using Nakshathra designs Buddha decoupage papers. The prints of this pack are so versatile with a turquoise background, Buddha, mandalas and lotuses.. Which is a very unique pattern. I instantly feel Peace just by looking at the papers 😉

So for this project I chose a blue-green pallette to blend with the papers. Cut the designs that I wanted to go over the tray base and the outer corners.

Then I took the tray and coasters.. Gessoed all over and applied some home decor wax at the places where I wanted to distress.

Once dry, using a sponge dauber tapped blues and greens all over the portions where I wouldn't use the decoupage paper. Then sanded over the places where I applied wax.. To distress and give it an old wood look.

Once I was happy with the color blending and distressing.. I decoupaged the base and sides of the tray and one side of the coasters and finished off by varnish the whole thing at least thrice to seal and waterproof it.

And that's it , my simple and the everyday tray and coasters are ready !! :)
