Wall hanging tray using a designer napkin

Upcycled tray using Dinner Napkin designed by Kathryn White.

I applied the napkin and used Golden's Crackle Paste surrounding the napkin.  Rubbed in black acrylic paint and sealed with several coats.

Tray and tea pot still life by Sandra.


Made this tray using designer tissue paper. In the upper left hand corner I glued a vintage necklace. Added a sheet of glass to protect the embellishments and added beads to cover the glued edges.

Cameo tray with lace underlay.


Adhered the lace to bottom of tray then added cameo images and "cameo" centre with a gimp and bead surround. On the top of the tray I placed a vintage hat pin. Placed glass over it to conceal the different textured layers and sealed edges with silicone, then used beads to conceal the glue. Gave this away as a wedding gift. PS: I apologize for the reflection in the glass of me taking the picture - don't have that mastered yet! Thanks for looking.

Bird themed tray using designer dinner napkins.

Used several of the Golden products to adhere the tissue and to also seal the surface so it can be wiped clean with a damp cloth. Used the crackle technique and then ran a sanding block around the edges to give it that worn look.

Tea time tray using designer dinner tissue napkins.

I made this tray using several designer tissue napkins cut up and placed around the words "Tea Time" which I printed on tissue also. Sealed the entire surface with several coats of Golden's Polymer Varnish with UVLS (Matte). Put the "ball" feet on to give it a little extra look. Finished the back with a crackle finish.

Blue and white tray.

Made this for my sister's birthday. Used a piece of fabric then added a glass overlay so she could use it on her vanity or as a tea tray. Have enough fabric to make a pillow to match it.

Teapot tray in green and cream.

This tray all started with a wallpaper border that I just loved. I then took a 12" square sheet of scrap booking paper and tied it in to create some harmony with the long strip of the border. Embellished with some bling on the dishes and added pressed leaves from garden with a vintage ear ring disassembled to fit on the bottom center. Entire tray is covered with a glass overlay to protect embellishments.
It sold at our local gallery and I often wonder whereabouts in it's new home it would be displayed.

Dance of butterflies in music theme.

Several years ago I made this for a neighbors daughter for her graduation. She is now in university and heading in the direction of a Pediatrician. Her mother tells me she is still enjoying the tray. I gave this to her as I knew she played piano and was very musical. Sheet music was from a Etude music magazine dated 1902. I tried to include the date on the tray for nostalgia sake. As with most of my trays I did a glass overlay to protect the rather tactile pieces such as a vintage butterfly brooch in bottom right. The butterfly from Irish linen in upper right corner was from one of my shopping trips. When I did this I really didn't know what a collage of sorts was. Little did I know where all this would end up heh! CLICK ON PICTURE TO SEE THE DETAILS. Thanks for reading!

Handpainted periwinkle swirl designed tray

Did this freehand. Added glaze to the white paint then did the negative technique using the eraser on a pencil. Hand painted the dots etc. Did this several years ago as a grad gift. Wishing now I that I would have taken a picture of the back - little did I know one day I would want to archive all my creativity on a blog!

Garden and Nature themed trays

The above tray is different from the one below. Notice on the one above the vintage necklace. Click on image and it should show more details of picture.

The above is the same paper but I positioned it differently on tray. Notice the word music has been framed with a mini frame to highlight it.
Both trays have glass overlays to protect the embellishments inside. Oh how I wish I would have saved at least one of these!
Hope you enjoyed these!
