Upcycled Halloween Tray DIY

A few of us got together for another edition of the Dollar Bin Challenge.  This time, the three of us chose $3.00 trays in the bins at Target. Our challenge was to upcycle it into something new with a Halloween twist. So, here is my upcycled Halloween tray DIY.

Time: 15 Minutes (not including drying time)

Materials:

• Two small trays
• Candlestick
• Wallpaper Scraps
• Mister
• Ruler
• Scissors or Rotary Cutter
• Cutting Mat
• E6000

Instructions:

Any two trays will work. I like these because they are small and work well with a candlestick.

I had scraps left over from wallpapering my guestroom. I measured the inside of the trays and cut pieces of wallpaper to use as a liner. A cutting mat and rotary cutter makes this step so quick and easy.

This wallpaper is water activated. I sprayed a light mist on the back of each sheet.

I folded the sheets over to allow it to activate for about 2-3 minutes.

Next, I simply added wallpaper to the bottom of the tray. I allowed it to dry for a couple hours.

Lastly, using E600, I attached a candlestick to the center of the two trays to create a stand. Use a ruler to make sure it is centered. Allow the E600 to dry completely before using the tray. I waited overnight.

This tray is the perfect size for parties and entertaining. I added some skull bags filled with candy on the top.

On the bottom I filled little spider web cupcake liners with green candies and of course a jeweled skull!
