Inspired by DIY – Kelly Wearstler Bauble Tray

October 25, 2016~ Decor, DIY and craft projects

Inspired by DIY is here! A week late! Oops. With the One Room Challenge madness happening we’re all a little behind with things, but for October’s Kelly Wearstler themed challenge we were all able to pull it together, just a week late. For my DIY I chose to make over her Bauble Tray . I really like her stuff, I just can’t stomach that price point. Instead, I made my own using some items from Michaels and a tray I already owned! How crazy is that.

With the holidays around the corner I’m trying to be a little more careful with how I spend my crafting budget, so when the Bauble Tray flashed across my screen I knew I had the perfect craft. A few years ago when Target was still a thing in Canada, I purchased a gorgeous gold circular tray. I’ve used it with our bar and in our living room in various applications, but lately it’s been collecting dust and not looking as hot as it used to.

You can find tons of trays at the thrift store and just spray paint them if you don’t have one.

Materials

  • Super Glue
  • Hot Glue Gun
  • Assorted Beads + Gemstones
  • Broken jewelry – you can use the pieces for your tray!
  • Gold & Pink crafting wire
  • Tray + Spray Paint / Gold Tray

– Wherever you find your tray, make sure you’ve got it painted gold before you start –

Step 1: Roughly decide the order or repeat you want for your design.

Step 2: In some instances, you’ll want to wrap the stones or beads in wire before gluing them to the tray.

Snip a bit of wire and wrap it around the stone. Repeat as many times as you’d like before gluing the stone to the tray.

Step 3: Some other beads or gems you may want to wrap. Same concept

Step 4: To help vary the look of the stones on your tray, you can also stack plastic gemstones one on top of another, using super glue, and then glue them to the tray.

P.S. If you’re like me, you also keep a ginormous stash of plastic gemstones of all shapes, sizes and colours because comme’on! They’re so useful!

Step 5: If you haven’t already, start gluing the beads and gemstones to the outer rim of the tray.

At this point it’s pretty much a “lather, rinse, repeat” kinda thing, so just keep going! I did the entire tray in about 10 minutes and love the end result. It very much brought that gold tray into the holiday season in style!

Step 6: Enjoy!

    This is too fun! I have that exact circular tray, except in black – you’ve got me itching to give it a gold-leafed makeover! And of course I’ll have to stock up on plastic gems! They are obviously a craft-closet essential. Love how this turned out!

    We made something similar to this to store all my daughters jewelry (for a 5 year old she has a ton!). This is such a fun way to use up broken jewelry.

Ariel - PMQ for two
I am this week’s feature on the @littleyellowcou I am this week’s feature on the @littleyellowcouch podcast and I gotta say - FAN 👏🏻 GIRL 👏🏻 MOMENT. I had been listening since there were 2 hosts, and really got into it when I went full time with the blog during our first year posted to Gagetown. I found my colourful voice, and started making things like this beautiful glossy blue sideboard. 
There wasn’t really anyone else doing “colour” my way in the decor space at that time (everything was white farmhouse). And while there are definitely many more who do it now (and who do it better!), I’ll never forget the freedom I felt when no one was watching what I did. It has been so incredibly bittersweet watching new accounts lap me in a matter of months (and oh so humbling), but I like to think I’m exactly where I need to be. 
My growth has been slow by today’s standards, and I’m ok with it. I still get to do what I love. 
So, if you’ve been following me since then, the very beginning, or last week - stick around! Let’s see what the next stage is like.

I think we’ve all been feeling a little powerles I think we’ve all been feeling a little powerless these days, but @laybabylay made a great point in her stories the other day: you can always do something nice. You can buy the order of the person in line behind you at the drivethru. You can donate to charitable organizations doing things you believe in. You can make a meal for your neighbour who might be having a hard time with lockdown. It’s amazing how much better I feel when I do something nice, and I bet you will too ❤️

“Life is what happens when you’re busy making “Life is what happens when you’re busy making other plans” - John Lennon. 😎 As a family who moves a lot, we’re ready for a new chapter/ new house, but I’m not sure if I’ll be able to leave all the memories! We brought June home here 😭 she learned to walk here, and said her first words here. I wonder what other “firsts” she’ll have before we move. [pictured, June in a messy kitchen last year]
