Instructions:
Transform a
plain wood tray into a pretty thing to display your
favorite toiletries on your dresser, or use in any
other place. Use a design that is inspired by your decor
for a more unified look.
-
Start by
preparing your tray, paint it with a coat of diluted
white glue. When dry draw on your design, here I used
a rose drawing that goes well with my room fabric, but
you can draw any other thing.
-
Cut your
mosaic tiles into small pieces using the tile nippers
and arrange them over your design to check how to fill
it. Use green for leaves, pink for roses and yellow
for everything else, and when you need to fill
small areas cut the tile pieces even smaller until you
get a good fit.
-
Stick your
tiles using tile adhesive applied straight on the back
of the tiles. Leave them to dry over night making sure
all the tiles are glued well.
-
Mix your
grout, color it, if you want, using a little craft
paint, and apply it to the tray making sure to push
well with your fingers to fill all the small gaps
between the tiles.
-
Wipe away
the excess grout from the tiles using a damp sponge or
cloth and leave it to dry overnight. When it's dry you
can clean the tiles more using a dry cloth.
-
Paint the
remaining of the tray pink, paint the wood balls green
and stick them to the lower corners of the tray to act
as legs.
-
Feel good
about yourself, you've just created a displaying tray
to be proud of :) .
