DIY Crochet Tray tutorial (Decoupage)

DIY Crochet tray tutorial. Decoupage a crochet tray with mod podge.

Today I am sharing a very simple and cute DIY tray tutorial. Make an old vintage tray look beautiful and decorative.

I had this old tray that I refashioned by using mod podge and crochet mat.

I had this very vintage tray.

I spray painted it black.

This crochet mat is very special because it’s handmade by my mom.

She loves to crochet, she used to crochet beautiful things when I was a baby. And I am a big fan of her talent.

She tired hard to teach me but crochet requires patience.

I love to see the things she creates.

So where were we!

Yes, and she agreed into letting me use a few of her mats.

From 12 crochet white mats, I used one into making this crochet tray.

Luckily, it fit my tray well.

Just like the tray and the crochet mat were made for each other.

So, I cut the side of the mat and separated the two parts. (i e side and center)

It was so exact that I didn’t cut the side into a long ribbon but instead I cut it into a ring not losing the continuity.

Finally, I decoupaged it on to the tray using mod podge.

Let it dry.

And that’s it.

I love how neat and organized the tray looks with a hint of handmade love!

I used it to keep my daily stuff but now it’s in the living room with the decorative accents.

So, do you have beautiful handmade crochet mats!

What great projects you have made using your crochet mats?

Would you share them with me! I would love to see.

I hope you enjoyed this easy DIY tray tutorial.
