DIY- Party Tray: Chevron Style


Hey Party Peeps... is it just me, or are Chevron patterns EVERYWHERE these days???
I'm still on the fence with it all, but when I saw this easy party tray over on Martha Stewart, I knew someone might find it interesting...
They make it sound pretty easy.

Tools Needed:
*1 yard of decorative fabric
*An aluminum cookie sheet 
(I've seen them at the Dollar Tree!)
*Spray Adhesive
*Scissors
*Fabric Glue
*Synthetic Felt
*1/4" thick acrylic sheet cut to fit inside the tray with the corners rounded

How To Assemble:

1. Cut fabric large enough to cover the front and wrap around the back of the baking tray. Cover the front of the tray with spray adhesive.

2. Place fabric on tray so pattern is aligned, leaving enough room to wrap fabric around all sides to the back. Smooth fabric onto tray, pressing out any bubbles.

3. Pull any extra material into corner and push around the edge. Turn tray over. Cover the back of the tray with spray adhesive.

4. Press the fabric over two edges of the tray first, then fold in on each remaining side, as if wrapping a gift. Trim any excess fabric with scissors. Use fabric glue to secure, if needed.

5. Cut a piece of felt to fit the back of the tray and conceal fabric edges. Smooth felt on the back the tray.

6. Place acrylic sheet in center of tray.

Maybe it's growing on me...
