Yield: 1 tray
Cost: $8
Equipment
- Paper cutter or craft knife and mat
- Brayer (optional)
Materials
- Wooden tray
- Mod Podge Satin
- Mod Podge Dimensional Magic
- Acrylic paint color of your choice to basecoat tray
- Coloring pages completed
- Seed beads optional
Instructions
- Color several adult coloring pages with colored pencils or bleed proof markers.
- Paint your tray - completely basecoat using an acrylic paint color of your choice. Let dry for several hours.
- While the tray is drying, cut the adult coloring pages into strips. Our strips are 3" x 3" and 3" x 6" - use a variety of strips or any size of square you like.
- Begin in the center of the tray. Add Mod Podge to the back of a coloring page piece, then place down on the tray and smooth (the Mod Podge brayer helps here tremendously). Continue with the pages, adding and making a pretty tile pattern.
- At the edges, use the ruler and craft knife to help you score the pages and remove the excess.
- Continue until the entire tray is covered with coloring pages, then let dry for 15 - 20 minutes. Put a top coat of Mod Podge over the top of the coloring pages. Let dry for 24 hours.
- Add the Dimensional Magic to the tray. Place seed beads into the Dimensional Magic if you like. Let dry for 24 hours before using.
