Make a decoupage tray – it’s easier than you'd think

If you’re after a personalised tray to use to serve afternoon tea, this easy DIY project is for you.

Grab your favourite magazine images to create your own one-of-a-kind tray. It could be images of flowers, plants, shells, teacups, or anything that takes your fancy.

You will need:

Method:

1. Wipe your tray with a soft damp cloth and allow to air dry.

2. Cut out the images from the pages of magazines that you wish to use. Remove any background on the pictures and arrange them on your tray.

3. Use your paintbrush to paint découpage finish onto the back of each image. Paste them onto the tray and allow to dry for two hours.

4. Now paint the whole tray with découpage finish and allow to dry for two hours. Add another coat to make the tray extra durable.
