This has become one of my favorite projects! If you loved my wooden spindle carrot DIY video, then you are going to love this matching custom tray that I created too!
With the help of IOD Transfers, a little bit of paint, and a thrifted wooden tray, I transformed it into a stunning custom tray that's ready to complement my Easter decorations.
In this blog, I will show you How To DIY A Custom Tray To Match Your Easter Decor!

Once I saw how adorable the DIY carrots were I decided to create a custom tray to display them on.
I had this wooden tray in my stash already but I bet you could easily find one at your local thrift store.
I painted this tray with Fusion Mineral Paint in the color Raw Silk.
This is one of my favorite colors, it is a very pretty off-white color.
This is an all-in-one paint so I do not have to worry about sealing it. This is one reason why I love using Fusion paints!
I applied 2 coats of paint and then let it dry.
Then, I lightly distressed the edges of the tray with sandpaper.
Next, I used IOD’s Whispering Willow transfer collection to transfer a cute little bunny to my tray.
I cut out the bunny and then I decided that I wanted to transfer it to the right side of the tray.
This left the other side of the tray open so that I could lay the carrots on the other side.
To transfer the bunny, follow these steps:
Remove the white backing from your transfer.
Place the bunny onto the tray where you want it to be.
Start by rubbing the flat parts, then work on the curved edges.
Use your transfer tool to rub the bunny into the tray firmly; you'll notice the color changing as it adheres.
Slowly peel off the clear transfer sheet. If needed, use the transfer tool to prevent the transfer from lifting as you pull.
What do you think? Whether you're a DIY beginner or a seasoned veteran, this project is perfect for you!
