Tea Tray Tutorial

June 18, 2021 

This sweet Tea Tray is easy to create and can be made with a minimum of items, most of which you probably already have on hand.

1. A small wooden tray (Hobby Lobby or Craft Store)

2. Two long beads suitable for handles

3. Paint and "Accent Paint" here I used gold.

4. White acrylic paint for  "aging"

5. Printed picture for tray bottom. Be sure to spray with clear after printing.

6. Glue  (Either wood glue/hot/white)

7. Toothpicks

Paint tray completely.  Rough edges with emery board and sponge lightly with distress ink.

 

 Cut the picture to size.  Using glue or ModPodge, glue pic to the inside of the tray.

Using a toothpick, highlight edges with accent color (gold).

After all the paint is dry, coat with a layer of ModPodg for a  glossy look.

The combinations are endless.

And there you go, one Tea/Breakfast Tray.

Enjoy!  J
