Cookies and cocoa and cocktails...oh my! That is a just a few things that will look great served up on this adorable Christmas tray.

For my project I started with a thrift store cutting board. You also could use a tray from the thrift or craft store or a piece of wood or cupboard door. I stenciled with the large reindeer stencil and the snowflake from the Christmas crates stencil (note, there are lots of other great snowflakes on other Old Sign Stencils). Funky Junk's Old Sign Stencils.
I lightly sanded the cutting board to remove oils. Using a good red craft paint, I stenciled the large reindeer. These stencils are easy to center because they have great registration marks.
When the red paint was COMPLETELY dry, I lightly sprayed the cutting board with a clear spray. While this in non-toxic, if you want to place food directly on the wood tray, use a food safe product. I then taped the reindeer stencil back down over the painted deer. Using the cute snowflake on the Christmas Crates Stencil, I stenciled with white paint. I placed the snowflakes close to each other to create a cute overlay pattern.
I added a few snowflakes around the reindeer and clear sprayed the tray again when the paint was dry.
A couple metal handles finished the tray.
It is the perfect place to hold your favorite holiday beverage or treat and a fun way to serve up Santa's cookies on Christmas Eve.
Here are a few more of the many fun things I have created with Funky Junk's Old Sign Stencils.
