Made: Triangle Tray

Made: Triangle Tray
I have been a bit obsessed with geometric shapes especially after redoing my dining room table, here. I decided to create a triangle tray next. If you choose to make this yourself look for a lightweight tray with good bones. Mine was lighter than I would like, the wrong color and had great dovetail joints so I purchased it knowing that the negatives could easily be changed.

step 1: sand tray 
step 2: clean tray and stain
step 3: tape and paint triangles (you will need quite a few coats)
step 4: use a polycrylic to finish the tray so that you can use it
Finished triangle tray
I really enjoy my new tray and really love the way it came out! Perfect for my living room table as somewhat of a catch-all. 

Thanks for stopping in!

Summer

It felt just like summer over the weekend.
Days of swimming, curly hair, and skin smelling of saltwater.
Epic matches of ping pong and four square in the rain.
I felt just like a kid and that's just what summers are for.
