What you need

  • Plastic or Wood Serving Tray
  • Martha Stewart Decoupage glue
  • Tissue Paper (Different Colors)
  • Martha Stewart Circle punch or Scissors
  • Paint Brush

Directions

  1. Use your circle punch or scissors to cut circles out of different colored tissue paper.
  2. Brush a thin layer of decoupage glue onto top of tray in area you want to place a circle.
  3. Place first circle down and very gently take your brush and paint decoupage over the circle. Brush in one motion so it doesn't pull off. If your circle rips, just take it off and place a new one down. The tissue paper is very thin, so work quickly and carefully. You only need a couple brush strokes to cover the circle. You could also use paper or fabric.
  4. Continue with the rest of the circles and let dry. Once everything is dry you can apply a thin coat of decoupage over the entire tray so it looks consistent.
