Five Minute Project

I've had this fold up piece of ironwork base for a long time, so long I don't remember what sat on it initially.  Whatever it was its long gone and consequently the bottom piece has just sat folded up and stored on the porch for a few years.  From time to time I would haul it out and put a big galvanized tub on it to hold beverages for a porch party but I knew it had a better purpose that I'd come up with someday.

A couple of weeks ago I was out treasure hunting at SA and I came across this beautiful large tray, its not vintage I think maybe it came from somewhere like Kirklands or something.  Anyway, for $1.99 it was mine and I knew I'd find a place for it somewhere.

Eureka!!!  With the base I had and the new tray I know had the makings for a side table for either in the house or on the porch.  The next task was how to marry the two pieces without making anything permanent in case I should change my mind later.  Big roll of eyes here.

The ever so useful loop tape only in this case what I had at home were the industrial strength (the only one I use) disks.  I took just one disk and cut it into quarters and the ironwork piece had small stems at the top to which I could adhere the tray.  One piece of each side of the loop take on each corner and I was in business.  Ahhhhh...that would be Izzy my rescue puppy trying to figure out if I had anything she could destroy at this particular moment.

I turned the tray upside down and centered the iron frame with the sticky loop tape on the top and pressed down until I felt it was secure.

And the finished product looks like this

The whole project including setting the little vignette from a couple of things I just grabbed off the porch to get the show took less than five minutes.  This was an embarrassingly simple project.
