Hello,
Want to make a ladies tray, they are so useful.
First you need some of Nana's doilies and lace.
Everyone has a photo frame that holds a picture that you have tired of. Turn the print over to put the doilies and lace on. You could also use up an orphan patchwork block, cross stitch or stitchery. The op shops have heaps of photo frames for only a dollar or two if you haven't got any around the home.
Purchase some kitchen drawer handles from a hardware store.Just make sure you can fit your fingers underneath the handles.
While at the hardware store pick up a packet or two of small round wooden handles for the underside of the tray. These come with screws, discard the screws. You need to glue the handles on, we used Tarzan's Grip.
A quick easy project and perfect for a tray for your morning tea or to rest your scissors and threads on whilst stitching. Please let me know if you make one.
Happy days.

Hi Bev,
You have done a project that I have wanted to do for years now. I first saw one done my Martha Stewart many years ago and have the clipping from her magazine in a file marked "project to do". I love how your turned out. They would make wonderful gifts too. Now that I have seen yours I want to make one soon. A wonderful way to show off some antique laces or just about anything. I have to move this tray to the top of my list.
Have a wonderful day and the weekend is around the corner too. Yah!
Blessings,
Bobbie Lynn
What a great idea Bev...yours looks fantastic!
Just simply perfect Bev ... & so easy to do. I was at the Op Shop the other day looking at all the hundreds of photo frames they had stacked up there. Shall definately make one of these for my Mum :-) thanks for sharing.
Great idea Bev. I'll be keeping that in mind. Hugs,xx

What a lovely idea. Thank you. I do like your cup and saucer - very pretty.
Bev, that is brilliant, what a lovely idea. I shall be looking out for a suitable frame now. I could see one with a bag of polystyrene balls attached to the back to make a lap tray too. Thank you. xx
Such a lovely idea!
Very clever Bev! I am fortunate enough to have some great trays already, but if I ever need to make one I know where to come for ideas!
What a clever idea and such a gorgeous tray! I must try this at some stage.
