DIY Jewelry {or anything} Tray

So I went Goodwilling yesterday and found a really intricate frame for only 99 cents.  I immediately thought "Well, I could make a cute, little tray out of this!"  I couldn't wait to get home and get started! 

Here's what you'll need:

{A frame-I got mine from Goodwill for 99 cents!  Make sure it's deep enough to hold things.}
{Your favorite print for a background-I used damask print napkins but you could use scrapbook paper, fabric or even a mirror.}
{Scissors, tape, and glass cleaner}

Step One: Begin by taking apart your frame.  Clean the glass with the glass cleaner and remove the picture stand from the back.


Step Two: Place your print (for me it's a napkin) on top of the cardboard insert of the frame.  Make sure you lay it exactly where you want it before wrapping the print around the cardboard.




*Make sure you tape down everything so you have a nice, smooth finish.
{Optional Step} Spray paint your frame!  I chose black because I had extra from another project I'm working on and it matched my napkin!
Step Three: Assemble your tray!

Wah-Lah!  You have a beautiful tray to hold your jewelry, perfume, make-up brushes, or anything your heart desires.  Below you'll see an example of  some of my jewelry in my tray.

See how I hung my earrings from the side!  Bonus feature!
Good luck making your own tray!  I'd love to see what you've come up with! :)
