These popular 18" doll sized wooden trays are made to serve either afternoon tea or breakfast in bed to your dolls.
Trays also come in handy when your doll is feeling sick and must rest in bed for a day...
Supply List:
- blank wooden serving trays from a Dollar store
- decorative tile-like papers
- Mod Podge
- ruler
- low grit sandpaper
- acrylic paints
Step-by-Step Instructions:
- Cut decorative or faux tile paper to fit inside of the tray at it's bottom only.
- Brush on a smooth even later of Mod Podge at the bottom and carefully smooth down all of the paper to fit.
- If the paper you have selected is patterned or solid without tile segments, cut long narrow strips of white or black paper to make the tile pattern as seen in the bottom right photo. Choose the color for the 'faux grout' that has the greatest contrast to the decorative paper you have chosen. In this way the 'grout' will stand out.
- Apply and cut to fit the strips 1/2 inch apart, running both vertically and horizontally with paste.
- Now paint the side panels and handles of the tray. I chose to use a brown for one tray to make it look stained. Then I chose a grey to bring out the colors of the second one.
- Cover the finished surfaces with another layer of Mod Podge.
