Easy Tray Makeover

Transform a try with Mod Podge and Fabric!

Long time, no post! I figured it has been WAY too long since my last post. Time sure flies when you are busy and having fun!

I actually completed this project quite some time back. It has just taken me forever to edit the pictures and post them! Back in late Summer, I was looking through an HGTV magazine and they had written an article on how adding a tray to your kitchen can totally make all of your counter-top items look like they’ve been organized by a professional. Of course, I was all about this concept. Anything that was going to make my clutter look more organized and in turn, make me look like a genius, I was all game! 

I was at my local Home Goods cruising the sale section when I came across a decent sized tray. It was an off white tray with purple detail on it (not really my style). I flipped it over to take a look at the price. It was on sale for $15, originally marked as $100. Now, $15 would typically be more than I would spend on something like this, but since it was clearly something fancy (and a good size), I committed to it and went ahead and bought it.

I was able to find a fabric print that matched the color of my kitchen chairs, which was awesome! I knew I wanted to add this print inside of my tray so I could carry the color of my chairs throughout my kitchen. This DIY was super easy to complete!  Here’s how I did it…

Supplies:

– Tray

– Fabric

– Fabric Mod Podge

– Paint Brush

– Paint

– Scissors

– Pencil

Step 1: Paint the outside of your tray. I also painted a little bit of the inside of the tray.

Step 2: Lay your tray on top of your fabric. Use your pencil to trace around the bottom of your tray. Then, cut out what you just traced.

Step 3: Put a generous layer of Fabric Mod Podge on your tray. Then, lay your fabric over the Mod Podge.  Press down and smooth out your fabric.

Step 4: Put a layer of Mod Podge over your fabric. This will provide a nice seal over your fabric. Let the glue dry.

Step 5: Once your glue is dry, add your kitchen gadgets. My tray fit my toaster and paper towel holder perfectly!

    The pretty initial flag is made from wool felt in pink, peach and cream. It is embellished with felt daisies. Flag size is approx 10cm x 13cm. Ideal for light and pretty nursery/bedroom. Hangs easily from a door knob, peg, shelf hook etc. Great for a personalised gift, new baby gift, birthday decoration etc.  I am able to customise in other colours, please don't hesitate to ask. This item is not a toy and should be hung safely for decorative purposes only. Thank you....
