I painted the top of the tray with the patio paint in desert turquoise. The patio paint adds extra durability for this project for outdoors. Allow the paint to fully dry and cure before continuing.

Apply the decoupage to the bottom of the tray in an even coat and apply your fabric. Press down with a straight edge or old credit card smoothing the fabric and eliminating any wrinkles. Press all the way to the corners of the tray. Keep any pattern on your material as straight as possible.

Now use a craft knife along with your straight edge and trim the excess fabric around the edges. Press with the straight edge or credit card and cut along the line with your craft knife. Continue all the way around the tray. Allow the decoupage to dry completely on this step before continuing.

Apply an even coat of decoupage on top of your fabric. This will seal the fabric for the epoxy layer we are going to add. Allow this to dry at least overnight.

Now mix the Amazing Clear Cast Resin according to the package directions. Then, just pour into your tray and spread to all of the edges. A flame can be used after pouring to pop bubbles on the surface of your resin. I use a standard lighter that has a long arm and wave it over the surface.

Allow to cure for at least 24 hours. Do not touch the surface while it is curing.
