Scrapbook Paper Tray

I love pretty scrapbook paper.  My new favorite place to but scrapbook paper is Home Goods. 

 I bought this 90 page book of scrapbook paper for just $5.99.  

With new paper in hand, it was time to come up with a new project.  

I took two coordinating sheets and glued them together using a glue stick

 to make a single double-sided sheet.

Then on all four sides I folded the paper in (about the width of a ruler).  

I also used the ruler to score the paper to make a perfect edge.

Once all four sides were folded in, I took the corners and punched a hole.

Using pretty brads I had in the house, I attached the four corners.

You could just call it a day here, but of course, I can't leave well enough alone.

Instead, I punched holes all around the top spaced approximately one inch apart.

Then with yarn I had (that matched exactly), I crocheted an edge all around the tray.

Once I was done crocheting, I didn't love how the corners looked poking out.

So I just tucked each corner into one of the holes I had made for the crocheting.

You could use these pretty paper trays for anything.  I am using mine on my bedside table and filled it with all the essentials I use each evening before I go to sleep.

I can't wait to hear what you think of my pretty paper tray.

Don't forget to stop back tonight for my Swing into Spring party.

The party opens at 8pm EST.  Hope to see you then.
