Decorative Tray How-To
1. Cut fabric large enough to cover the front and wrap around the back of the baking tray. Cover the front of the tray with spray adhesive.
2. Place fabric on tray so pattern is aligned, leaving enough room to wrap fabric around all sides to the back. Smooth fabric onto tray, pressing out any bubbles.
3. Pull any extra material into corner and push around the edge. Turn tray over. Cover the back of the tray with spray adhesive.
4. Press the fabric over two edges of the tray first, then fold in on each remaining side, as if wrapping a gift. Trim any excess fabric with scissors. Use fabric glue to secure, if needed.
5. Cut a piece of felt to fit the back of the tray and conceal fabric edges. Smooth felt on the back the tray.
6. Place acrylic sheet in center of tray.

Love the tray idea! & what camera did you order? I've been thinking about getting one and have no idea what to get!
ReplyDeleteThanks! I had the same problem. There are so many out there and they range in price so much. I ended up getting this Sony http://www.walmart.com/ip/Sony-Alpha-A230-Slr-Digital/11089350
ReplyDeleteMy boyfriend found it for $334 on walmarts website but they were sold out and in stores they are $399. Eventually it was back in stock so I ordered. It had really great reviews and seemed like a good starter dslr that wasn't too expensive.
