DIY Frame Tray Craft

It’s a new year, but I’m still working on a last year project – Inspiring Small Spaces! Remember that reading nook I started? I’m getting really excited to share the new look with you in a week or so!

I did a few crafts around this latest home decor concept, and both were so easy and came out great so I want to share them with you!

I wanted a few accessory pieces to bring out some of the colors in the pieces I received from Raymour and Flanigan. But after shopping several stores, I couldn’t find the right sized tray.

So I decided to make my own! It’s so easy!

What you’ll need to make a DIY Frame Tray:

• 1 frame in size of your choice (I think a 5×7 or 8×10 works best)
• 4 glass pebbles (the craft kind with the flattened bottom)
• Tacky glue (I used jewelry glue)
• Fabric piece of your choice in a size large enough to fit the frame
• Flat head screwdriver

Directions:

1. Using the flat head screwdriver, pry the frame stand off the back of the frame
2. Open the frame and place the fabric piece inside (trimmed to fit)
3. Replace frame backing and close
4. Place a dot of glue on each of the four glass pebbles
5. Glue a pebble to each corner of the frame
6. Let dry

And you’re done! Enjoy your tray to hold a small cup of coffee or a breakfast biscotti. Or keep a moleskine journal and pen handy for writing down ideas.

What else could you use a small tray for?
