Spring Tray Decor

Home Decor· Spring

It is that time of year where I get really tired of gray and dreary winter scenery and start searching for spring ideas! I browse seed catalogs, and anxiously check each day for any pops of green in my flower beds. Today’s project is a good transition piece from winter to spring. I love the bright green of the soft moss and the whimsy of the picket fence detail. This tray is one that I will use not only for spring, but for other holidays and seasons by simply switching out the display contents of the tray.

Tray Decor Spring IdeasTray Decor Spring Ideas Spring Ideas: Tray Decor Supplies Needed:

  • Walnut Hollow Unfinished Pine Serving Tray
  • MossyMat Peel and Stick Moss Sheet
  • Unfinished Wood FenceDecor (3 packages)
  • Varathane One Step Stain and Polyurethane
  • Krylon Indoor/Outdoor  White Spray Paint
  • Elmer’s Carpenter’s WoodGlue

Tray Decor Spring IdeasRemove any stickers from your wooden tray. Stain the tray, and paint the wooden fence pieces white.

Tray Decor Spring IdeasYou do not need to stain the middle of the tray. It will be covered with moss. Paint both sides of the fence pieces. Allow the paint and stain to fully dry.

Begin attaching the fence pieces to the sides of the tray. The first section will go flush to the side of the tray edge. Using scissors, remove the end pieces on one side of the fence.

Tray Decor Spring IdeasSand the fence where you removed the pieces.

Using wood glue, adhere the fence piece to the tray.

Tray Decor Spring IdeasUse clothespins, or other clips to hold the fence pieces in place until the wood glue dries.

Tray Decor Spring IdeasWhen joining sections of fence, sand them slightly to even the surfaces of each piece where they butt up next to each other. This will make the seams less noticeable.

Tray Decor Spring IdeasWhen you get to the end of the tray, you will need to trim a fence piece. As before, trim and sand the cut end of the fence.

Tray Decor Spring IdeasLet the wood glue cure.

Then add your moss. The moss I used is a moss sheet, that has a really nice and sticky backing on it! Highly recommend!

Tray Decor Spring IdeasTrim the moss sheet to fit the tray. Set aside the extra piece for another project.

Peel the backing off of the self-adhesive moss sheet.

Tray Decor Spring IdeasBegin on one end of the tray, pressing the moss onto the lip of the tray (behind the picket fence), down the sides, and onto the bottom.

Tray Decor Spring IdeasTrim the excess moss where the handle of the tray is, and anywhere else that it is bulky. You can use the small cut pieces to fill in any gaps.

Tray Decor Spring IdeasSeriously, this moss is amazing! It doesn’t shed all over like regular moss.

Tray Decor Spring IdeasThat’s it! All you need to do now is style your tray with whatever spring ideas you come up with and decide where to put it.

Tray Decor Spring IdeasThe happy pop of bright green gives me hope that spring is right around the corner!
