I have been working on Lovey's (my three year old) big girl on and off for over a year now. I want it to be a chic but fun room and have been looking for a tray for her dresser when I stumbled upon this blog posting about making a DIY Acrylic (Lucite style) Studded Tray. I knew immediately that I wanted to make this for Lovey's dresser and couldn't believe how easy it was to make.
I stopped by Michael's and got a Studio Décor 11X14 Acrylic Shadow Box. Regular price was $7.99 and I used a 40% off regular price coupon to score it for just $4.80. I ordered the Gold Studs off Amazon for under $10 with shipping.
I got home and taped off the frame with painters tape so that I could protect the acrylic while I used my drill, and to mark the spots where I wanted my studs. I started 1/2 inch from the corner and marked every inch all the way around the parameter of the frame.
Next I drilled my holes, and then removed the painters tape. The studs are super easy to use; I was able to screw them together without using any tools. For less than $15 bucks, and 30 minutes of my times I got this super cute tray to put in Lovey's room
