Trace and cut the hexagon
Trace and cut the sides of the tray
Glue the pieces together to create the shape
*You can tape the pieces together while they dry
Add a little water to some white school glue
With a paintbrush, decoupage the paper to the tray with the glue
*This will make it sturdy and keep your pieces in place
When dry, paint the entire tray white
Cut pieces of the Americana Decou-Page Paper to fit the tray
Using the gloss Decou-Page medium, adhere the decorative paper to the tray
