Welcome back beauties, I wanted to share an easy DIY makeover hack I recently did with an old Ikea serving tray that I bought a few years ago. It was old and grimy and instead of throwing it away I decided I would revamp it and give a new look.
Supplies
Ikea serving tray
Paint of choice
Paint brush
Duck Deco Adhesive Laminate, Taupe Quatrefoil, 20 In x 12 ft.
Scissors
Smoothing tool or credit card
Pen (for measuring)
Clean rag
Check out the video below for the full tutorial!
Step 1
Clean your surface area and make sure that it is flat as possible, like I said ours was old and it had old stuck on food on it 🤢 so I made sure to scrape that off. This gave me a clean and flat surface to work with.
Step 2
Paint 2 full coats using the paint of your choice.
Step 3
Let dry!
Step 4
Time for contact paper!
Measure the contact paper size for your serving tray. Using a pen, mark on the back side of the contact paper where you will be making your cuts.
TIP: Use tape to hold the contact paper in place when making your cuts.
Step 5
Adhere contact paper to surface and using a smoothing tool or credit card, smooth out all the bubbles. Continue until your serving tray surface is covered with the contact paper.
That’s it! Such a fast and easy project to do! If you have an old serving tray or anything that is old consider giving it a makeover rather than just tossing it!

Stay thrifty beauties,
how durable are these contact papers? Can you use it on a tray that you regularly wash? or put hot things on.
Hi Zahra, It’s actually very durable! It’s been over a year and I still use this tray a lot! I usually just wipe it down with a wet rag/cloth and its good to go. I would say dont put it in the dishwasher or let it soak and you should be fine.
