Tray Number 1
Tray Number 2

Instructions
Print on heavy grade paper and seal.
Glue the oval bottom on a piece of cardboard and
cut out.
Cut the strips. Glue the one with the pattern on
the back of a "wood" strip so you can
still see the pattern. Then slide the edge of the
bottom through some glue and wrap the strip with
picture facing the inside round the bottom, with
the end seam on the side (not overlapping). The
bottom should be slightly higher than the underside
of the strip.
Cut the shape of the side, following the pattern.
Then glue the other strip with the picture facing
the outside, joining on the other side.
Trim and cut the hand openings.
Colour the white cut edges with a brown felt pen
and lacquer the tray with several coats of varnish
(shellac).
Have fun!
You can use these for yourself or your miniature
club.
They cannot be used for items to be sold.
