Why I love this craft
I’ve done a tray craft project similar to this before, but this time I used a different material – tumbling tower blocks from Dollar Tree. I love how this project turned out and the many uses I can get out of it, especially by making it waterproof. I think you’ll love it too!
To seal or not to seal a project?
For this particular tray project, I wanted to make it waterproof so I could use it as a soap stand in my bathroom. There are some projects that I didn’t seal and wish I would have and vice versa. I think it all comes down to getting an idea of how you’d like to use something and decide whether or not is warrants a quick coat of protectant.
The inspiration for this craft:
I’ve previously used these little cutting boards to make a hanging sign, a wood bead riser, a snowman sign, and even a spring flower crate. But today, I’m making a bobbin edge riser tray.
