Mix resin to manufacturer's instructions, making sure you have enough resin to cover the entire surface of your tray.

We chose to apply the resin with a paintbrush as our tray has a high lip around it. Check out our other resin projects for other application options, which could work equally as well depending upon the shape of tray you're using.

Rest your tray on a solid object (such as a cake tin) to elevate the tray in preparation for resin drips. Once you brush your tray with resin, for the first hour after application you must watch for air bubbles and drips that will appear. It is important to be patient at this stage, as bubbles and drips can spoil your project if you're not careful.

If you see drips form at the base of your tray, wipe clean with your gloved finger or gently with your brush.

If you see bubbles appear, gently blow on them with a straw until they pop.

Once dry, choose a paint color for the underneath side of your tray that will complement the images you've chosen. Give it as many coats as it needs for the finish you desire, again leaving time to dry between coats.

We were very pleased with the result of our floral-themed tray, but as you can imagine there are loads of different prints you could use to fit in with your own decor or tastes.
