Papier-mâché has a long history of being used for decorative objects, and people have been making paper maché trays since the 18th Century. Corrie Beth Hogg is a multi-media maker and author, and she teaches you how to make your own paper maché tray. This is a kid-friendly craft, easy to make, and great to gift, plus a fun opportunity to upcycle cardboard and paper. Corrie provides a template and teaches you how to cut and score a flat piece of cardboard and turn it into a three-dimensional tray. Learn Corrie's tips for preparing paper strips, her favorite paper maché paste, and her method of applying paper maché. When you're ready to decorate your project, Corrie teaches you how to transfer a design template onto your tray and how to create your designs with paint pens. These paper maché trays are long lasting, and you can put them in your entryway, on your bedside table, or hang them on the wall.

This is a very good class! I loved the process of making the tray, it's simple, easy and calming to put a tray together. Just take your time working on each step and you will be very happy with your finished result. The paper mache tray was lots of fun to make. It was very satisfying to have and hold a finished tray, that's beautiful and functional, one that you actually made with your own hands. It's a great project that you can take pride in and it's really nice enough to give as a gift or use for yourself. Thanks for another great class Corrie Beth Hogg! Looking forward to more.
