Everyone loves a good tray, and today Karen shows us how to recycle cardboard boxes to make hexagon trays! But that’s not it, we’re also going to decorate them by decoupaging with patterned napkins!

hey love the videos very cute. I thought I could help with the white showing thru on your decoupage box. I don't think I saw you separate the layers of the napkins so quick tip those napkins looked like two layers which you can carefully separate and the white backing will come off the pattern then proceed as usual and I think that will solve your problem with the white showing thru. Have a blessed day
That's awesome..cool idea..nice video
Love these too!! 😉
I've been wondering what I could DIY with some of my cardboard thatI have laying around! 🙂 Thanks!
Very cool!
I just threw away a bunch of boxes!!! :/
You should do a video on how to make those hexagon cups
where did you get the "cross my heart and hope to die, stick a needle in my eye" sunglasses
They came out super cute! Well done ^_^
Hey Karen, I've a question. Have you ever used Royal Coat decoupage glue? I was using Mod Podge until now but I realise that Royal Coat is so much cheaper and it doesn't dry tacky unlike Mod Podge, which I love 🙂
Important step: you should always peel off any extra layers the napkin might have (they usually have the printed pattern in one and then two extra layers) that way you make sure it doesn't peel off later.
very creative!!
I actually really like the hints of brown underneath the white! I think it makes it look high-end vintage
Omg i am totally doing this!!!
Love your nail polish!
Is Hexagon your fav shape? any others in the running?
U sound annoying
Its awesome karen
The mason jar at your bg has air on it.. Clever..😅😆
Hey Karen! These are so cute! But I was wondering, how would you go about stacking this tray if you were to make multiples so that they fit perfect together?
Karen, these turned out really cool. TFS, Debi
Everything always has a gold rim on it….
If you have a fold in your cardboard, you can turn it on its side and you have half of a hexagon already. Just need to cut it down to size, and you can use the excess to make the other half 🙂 .
I like it! Could you maybe do some drawer divided just like that, to organized some jewelry or something else in your night table.
Anybody else notice the empty jar labeled "air" on the bookshelf?
Can you guys maybe do a week dedicated to pets?
White!
Awesome!!! I have some spare cardboard sitting in my room, I am so going to do this project tonight!!! Thanks for the idea
These are so cute, Karen!
Love this! Definitely going to try it out!
OMG so easy Thank u thank you for sharing this idea
Love it! Definitely gonna do it in this summer 🙂
So beautiful!
I like how you mentioned all of the details, and your mistakes,,, to learn from it,,, not just to make perfect diy video that no one can do it for themselves… 💕💜 thank you 😀
So in love with decoupage. Right on time!
This is so lovely, Karen!
Typically I take all my cardboard to the recycling center (They pay about a penny for a pound of cardboard) but I've been feeling really crafty after watching all these videos so I might just do some hexagons.
Love this DIY! I'm a so gonna do it now😄
Thank you so much for watching, everyone! I love how this project came out, and I might so make 2 or 3 more!
super cute!
