How to create quick and useful pops of color with cheap trays

After creating inexpensive home décor with an Amazon box and a cereal box, I decided to do something, with the last two fabric flower cut outs that I had, to complete the ensemble.

I started with a tray from a set of different sized wooden trays that I ordered from Amazon.

I painted the tray a light color using chalk paint.

I applied Mod Podge to the inside of the tray to adhere the fabric flowers.

Next, I applied the mod podge over the flowers. I added two coats, allowing to dry between applications.

I decided to add jute twine around the top edges.

The tray was a perfect compliment to my other “fabric flower” creations! However, I think this could be an inexpensive, quick and easy way to create seasonal table décor for parties, weddings, or just to spruce up your home and patio.
