Julie: Mini Printer's Tray

Hello and, as this is my first post here of 2012, Happy New Year!

Today's project is one of the Tando Creative Mini Printer's Trays which I've filled with bright, cheerful sunny-day embelishments:

It was one of those projects where I used things that could be considered as 'Best', those special things which you're never entirely sure you should glue down anywhere ... just in case you need them for something else!

After assembling the tray - a simple task involving glueing the layers together - I painted it white and used some of my favourite patterned papers to cover the back of the compartments:

I then went about selecting small embellishmnets which could fit inside the individual compartments and others such as various paper flowers and cabochons:

This particular chipboard tray comes with a cover which you can attach and close over the front, which can give it a secret book feel, but as I want mine to hang on the wall I left that off and added a hanging loop made from a tiny tape measure:

Along with this 15x15cm tray there are various other designs in stock here.

They're a great way to way to present all your favourite embellishments and papers in one small space!

Julie :-)
