THE BIRDS - Coffee/Tea Trays



First, if you're just popping in you can go here to see more or you can peek here to see how I painted my trays and what they're made from.

I'm still working diligently to get my trays out before the holiday and here are a few more. For these trays I decided to go with birds...

It doesn't matter if your tray has little dinks in them, that slight imperfection gives them a unique, personal, home-y, kinda look. I like to call it "character".  Use to hold jewelry or other trinkets.















I had a smaller tray, so I decided to make this a set. 





The small trays are idea for holding coffee or maybe a few crackers






And here's one in silver










Once again I painted a smaller tray to make a set






The back of most of my trays were painted black, but I painted the back of these silver

























Here's the set






One of the styro trays I used was extremely sturdy but deep, sort of like a bowl.  Initially I was hesitant about using it






but I'm glad I did












Here's another that was a bit flimsy 









So I adhered two together






















And here we have one other lonely bird  ;-)











and to think it all started from this






















Birds of a Feather Flock Together





Always remember to LET YOUR CREATIVITY FLOW!
