Step four:  Accent the handle design by filling in part of it with Chalky Finish Paint.
Step five: Cut a piece of remnant fabric to fit the picture frame.  Place the fabric behind the glass of the frame, and reattach the back of the frame.  Use a screwdriver to remove the arm behind the frame so that the tray can sit flatly on the surface.

Step six:  Place a flourish stencil on the galvanized tin decorative containers.  Use a pouncer to pick up a bit of white paint, dab the excess paint off, and sponge over the stencil.  Repeat as desired to create the desired effect.  Peel off the stencil when done, and let the paint dry.
Step seven:  Fill the containers with various spring florals, and arrange them on your new tray!
