I can never have too many trays. That’s just a fact. But finding cute, clever and inexpensive ones is not quite as easy. I have loads already at home but I of course, wanted another – something fun and graphic in my favourite finish. Gold, of course.
As you may know if you’ve been following me here for a while that I absolutely adore the Queen of No-Holds-Barred Glam, Kelly Wearstler. Her designs are incredible and her products are always on my ‘when I win the lottery’ wishlist. So when I decided to give a really simple tray a makeover, I looked to her for inspiration.

Her ‘Channels’ wallpaper is what caught my eye. It’s fearless and fun and actually not that difficult to replicate.

For this project, all I really used was some gold metallic sticky back plastic (or ‘contact paper’ for my American breathren) and let me tell you, it was so so easy.
Here’s all you need…

For the full step-by-step on making this cute and simple glam tray, head on over to AO Life today to see how it was done.
The result!
And with a few simple strips cut and applied, here’s what it ended up looking like.
Super simple, inexpensive and stylish. My kind of DIY. I haven’t quite decided where it’s going to end up yet but I’m thinking (of course) the kitchen perhaps! Tiling is being done right now (literally as I type this) and the house is in a bit of chaos so apologies it’s not in its final spot just yet! Of course, everything gets moved around so frequently in this house that it’s likely it’ll move around about 5 times until then!
Hopefully I’ll be able to share more on the kitchen soon but in the meantime, I’m giving you some behind-the-scenes action on my Instagram Stories so if you aren’t following me there yet, please do!
In the meantime, is this a DIY you would try?
Super idea. The end result is so beautiful.
I love Kelly Wearstler too.

Gotta love a bit of the Wearstler right? She’s amazing!! xx
Love it! Now I kind of want to use it on my wall ;)
YESSSS!! DO IT!! Love that idea!! xxx
Lovely! I’m going to have to get some of the gold contact paper in my life!
Yes you do!! It’s amazing stuff!! ;) xxx
This tray is everything! You are such a genius!
Aww thank you Jess!! So pleased you liked it! xxx
Love that wallpaper!! Great reference and execution ??
Thanks so much Chris! I love that wallpaper too ;) xxx
Crikey, that wallpaper really is lottery winning stuff. I didn’t realise one could spend so much on wallpaper. Eyes opened! Tis gorgeous though.
It is crazy how expensive it is right? I reckon it could easily be DIY’d even on a much larger scale ;) xxx
That looks really good. Isn’t it amazing what you can do with a little imagination. xxx
Aww thanks Pauline! Glad you liked it!! xxx
Love your KW-inspired tray makeover and yay for sticky back plastic, especially when it’s GOLD! (Looking around my house to see where I could implement something similar!)
Well this is just SUPER CUTE! I love the ease and the gold touches are superb!
Well knock me over with a feather! I’m going hunting for the foil paper.. I love DIY tray makeovers.. (I did an antler tray which came really cute) so now you’ve inspired me to do another tray like this.. Thanks
pretty much from a brand spanking new phone that was running ics fh23(I think) rooted to fi03. I found that vid on YouTube. the guy who made the vid is qqking77 I think. basically one of the guys who makes a lot here. then Odin flashed agat safe recovery, then flashed this Rom.
I’ve been wanting to do some tray DIYs and this is perfect! :) PS Congrats on winning the Amara IBA 2016! :) One of my blogging goals :)
Oh I’m pleased you like it! It’s so easy to do as well ;) And thank you, that’s really kind of you! Best of luck to you with your own blog! :D xxx
