vintage clean up

I quite enjoy washing and making my thrift finds sparkle once I get home. This tray however could not be washed but needed a simple fix to make the years of "love" on the bottom be gone. The bottom of this beauty was a thick cardboard that could not be removed without wrecking the tray so I decided to recover it with some scrapbook paper. It turned out pretty good and now I can kinda forget about what was on the bottom!
even with wet glue it looks 100% prettier
