" Prepare for beautiful, balmy outdoor entertaining with this gorgeous drinks tray decorated in stylish stencils. Great for entertaining guests, stack up with refreshing gin and tonics or colourful summery cocktails! You will need:  A wooden tray Sand paper Paint Letter stencils  How to make your trendy drinks tray 1. Lightly sand a plain wooden tray. Paint with emulsion paint \u2013 we used Farrow &amp;amp;amp; Ball Cornforth White.  2. Apply two or three coats \u2013 leave to dry fully between each coat. Using a stencil and stencil brush, carefully paint &amp;#039;Drink&amp;#039; \u2013 or a word of your choice \u2013 in the centre of the tray. We used Crafter&amp;#039;s Acrylic, mixing a little white with black to achieve a slate colour.  3. When completely dry, use fine sandpaper to rub the edges of the tray to reveal some of the underlying wood. Lightly sand over the stencilled letters, too, to achieve an aged appearance. Top Tip: If your stencil is not flexible and too large to fit inside your tray, cut individual letters from stencil film or card. Fancy having a go with another stencilling project? We&amp;#039;ve got heaps of stylish ideas to try. From trendy table runners to gorgeous printed cushions, here&amp;#039;s how to make a stylish statement with simple stencils.
