Open the acrylic picture frame and remove all the paper/cardboard inserts.

Turn the picture frame right side up. Use the craft paints to paint a design on the picture frame. We were going for a very modern style, so we decided to create gold paint brush dots with a mint background.

Once your design has completely dried, paint completely over the picture frame with your background color. We ended up doing two coats of the background color to get the coverage we wanted. Depending on the color of paint, you might only need one coat, or you might need more.




Once the picture frames have dried overnight, you can turn them over and use them as trays! We didn’t worry too much about the trays not being food safe since we were only serving cupcakes that where in their cupcake wrappers. But, if you need your trays to be food safe, simply glue down a layer of wax paper to the bottom of the tray with a clear glue stick.

To see more take a look at my Bridal Shower Cake Tasting Event, my recipe for one cupcake 5 ways, and my tutorial on floral arrangement.
