Outdoor Side Table From a Vase & Chip and Dip Plate

I bought 2 items at my local Goodwill -

• A glass urn/vase for $8.99
• A wooden chip and dip platter for $4.99

I have been working on getting our screened porch in shape for the summer and really wanted a side table to go in between two chairs to set drinks on. I went to Goodwill knowing that I wanted a base and a top but not much more than that. I was excited to find these two pieces as they had so much potential! 

I needed to change the color of the vase. I used a spray primer and then an aqua spray paint to give it a sea glass look. 

I sanded down the wooden tray to remove the watermark on the bottom and applied a fresh coat of sealant. 

Then, I used glue to attach them to each other. The bowl in the center of the tray was the perfect spot to glue to the top of the vase.
