Embellishment Tray

As part of the class you had to make a tray with 14 pockets to hold your embellishments in. Darci used a Christmas bauble tray but they are really difficult to find over here.

Instead I used the lid of two paper ream boxes, joining them together. And the cardboard of the actual boxes were used to make the inserts. All of this was then covered with Beano comic pages – I still have a pile from doing my chest of drawers. Finishing off with a PVA varnish.

To hold embellishments I cut down some picnic plastic cups to various heights (used dependant on the number of embellishments I was meant to collect.

And where there were only a few brads or other small embellishments I cut up the plastic tray holding chocolates up making small pots.

Am pleased with the results and I think I may keep it out on my desk to rummage around in as it has things in there like flowers which I always forget to use.
