Creating an Art Tray

Do you remember this?

You probably thought I'd forgotten about those great ideas you gave me here. But, oh no, I did not! I actually chose one of your ideas and completed the project!


And while I considered several of your suggestions (there were so many good ones!) I ultimately went with the *art tray* idea. Thank you, Kayren!


First of all, I cleaned the tray up really well. It'd been an outdoor patio fixture since I acquired it in 1999. So we're talking lots of dirt and a few dried up leaves...but it came out pretty well.


Next I bought a package of 9oz. plastic cups at the store.

I had tested a random 8oz. cup that I found around the house and it worked well. However, the store only had 9oz. and I didn't think it would matter...and it didn't.


Then I put the cups in the slots and started filling them with the kiddos' art supplies. I just LOVE the way it turned out!!! And how easy was that?!?!
The kiddos love it, too. What do you think? It definitely works for me!
