I love tiered trays and thought it would be fun to make a Halloween one for Barbie:@) My inspiration was some old plastic pill bottles I was given to craft with, and thought the flat tops with the raised words ~CAUTION Not Child Resistant~ were a perfect play on words to hold candy and treats... My base and risers are simply wooden beads from the craft stash. And embellishments could be anything you have, I used pom-pom ribbon and rick-rack trim.
What I did:
- Colored the raised letters with a black Sharpie, let that dry.
- Super glued my base bead to the underside of the lower plate.
- Super glued bead to underside of upper plate. I decided I wanted a little more surface area to hold the top plate onto the bottom one, so I glued a small wooden disc to the bottom of that bead, Aleen's Turbo Tacky Glue worked well.
- These caps had a small tab to help open them, I cut that off as best I could to keep the sides flat and round.
- Glued sewing trim around the edges of the plates, let that dry. You could use washi tape, glitter, ribbon, stickers. anything...
- Glue upper plate to bottom plate. I ended up using Aleene's Turbo Tacky Glue, it was neater than hot glue.
- At this point you have the serving tray😎...
- Further embellishments? Stickers, glue on mini spiders, maybe add a third tier, the options are limitless.
- Note: For more rigorous doll play, you may want to drill a hole in the center of the caps and screw them to the beads. My tray is only used as a photo prop.
A close-up:
Is your Barbie having a Halloween party this year? Here's another fun idea, skeleton serving utensils from a Dollar Tree skeleton.
We do acknowledge it might be a little early for Halloween... But we believe in running with craft inspiration any time it strikes!
Also, Barbie says party planning takes time😉
🎃Make something just for fun and have a happy day!
