Simple DIY Tray Makeover Using the NEW Joie Des Roses Transfer Pin Cover

Introducing our latest thrift-flip adventure! In this tutorial, we're transforming a simple wooden tray we found at a local thrift store into an eyecatching centerpiece for your coffee table. We’ll guide you through each step, from prepping the surface to applying the finishing touches that make all the difference.

We’ll use our new Joie Des Roses Transfer. Doesn’t this transfer just whisk you away to the elegance of the Renaissance era? Blending muted colors with playful touches, this set is all about joy and sophistication, with mandarins adding a fresh, whimsical note to the classic rose motif.
