I made these trays for my Granddaughters for Christmas (this is Emily's). The older one said she needed something for her dresser to put all her make-up, toiletries. I had the wooden trays since last year, so thought I would use them. Basically, painted the wood, used Mod Podge to adhere the SU Designer Paper (all retired -- so good way to use up), let it dry, sanded all the edges and any paper that didn't line up, applied some Whisper White Craft to give a little antique look, applied embleshments with more Mod Podge (Build a Flower Elements and Big Shot Tulipe die), let it dry, and then did one final coat of Mod Podge all over. Then used an assortment of SU Designer Ribbon (all retired); SU Pretties, and charm. Very easy, but also very time-consuming because of drying time and the very worst was assembling all the product to match the paint my daughter picketed out for the 2 girls. First try, we'll see if I can get better if I make some more!!

This is absolutely lovely! It looks like something you would find at a high-priced botique. You did a great job and I know your granddaughter will love it.

really like this tray. Would not change a think. I know Emily will like it just as it is. Very nice job on the flower arrangement. Looks like you spend a lot of time and thought into this project.
