Quatrefoil Tray

With limited counter space in our bathroom and with a water efficient toilet, grrr, which has a small sloping surface, I needed a tray.  After looking and not finding the right size for the area, I decided to make one myself. 

For less than $6, I picked up more than enough wood to make my tray.

I cut pieces to fit the surface of the bowl then primed and painted the wood.

I used the template from Tatertots and Jello found here.  To get the size you need:

1.  copy the image and place it in a word document
2.  right click on the image to change the size
3.  print the image

Next I placed the template in the center of the bottom of the tray.  By the way, I didn't assemble the tray until after all painting was complete.  I took a pencil and traced around the design.
 pressing firmly.

This is what it looks like after this step.  I took a small paint brush and painted the quatrefoil with glossy white paint.  Next I hot glued the pieces into place.

Now we have a tray that is the perfect size for the back of the toilet.

Just a reminder that the fall linky party begins tomorrow.
