DIY Easy as Pie...Mom's Apple Pie Wood Serving Tray that is

Wow...

I had never stained ANYTHING

before this.

I started out with an unfinished 

round board...

Stained it, not even knowing 

what color it would turn out

to be, completed.

Added some adorable

jute covered handles.

And on to the magic of the chalk.

I DID tweak the tray

after the LIVE video, though.

I placed the transfer back 

onto the apple pie,

and squeegeed a few strokes

of Almond Chalkology paste in a few areas.

I thought it gave it more dimension.

Then, since the RED apples

were not really clear

on the dark wood,

I simply washed them off...

YES! Chalk paste is easily

removable, 

BUT, ONLY IF YOU WANT IT TO BE!

Since I hadn't sealed the tray

with some Polyurethane Spray, yet,

it came off nicely.

Then turned the red apples

into some Granny Smith Apples.

Much, much better, I think!
