Start by painting your wood tray with white chalky paint. Let dry.
Next, use grey paint and liberally cover the tray letting the white show through.
Cut out the cardinal design from your paper napkin.
Apply a thin layer of decoupage glue at the bottom of the tray.
Then place the cut out cardinal over top of the decoupage and carefully press in place.
Next, paint the “joy” sign with red paint and sprinkle with diamond dust.
Attach the sign and embellishments like evergreen stems and pinecones to the tray.
