How to Create a DIY Vanity Tray Using a Photo Frame and Your Favourite Print

Updated: Oct 8

Are you looking to add a touch of personality to your vanity setup? Look no further! Today, I'm thrilled to share with you a simple yet creative project that will transform your morning routine - a DIY Vanity Tray using a photo frame and your favourite print. Let's dive into the world of creativity and beauty together!





Personal Story: Giving the Gift of Flair


There are many things I love doing: going to charity shops and car boot sales and photography. I also love discovering clever ways to re-purpose my finds. I made and gifted a vanity tray for my friend's birthday. I used a deep beveled mirror photo frame and a photo I took of a Chanel perfume bottle. We are both lovers of Chanel. So, using this photo was a no-brainer.


Getting Started: Materials You'll Need


To kickstart this exciting project, gather the following materials:


  • A deep beveled photo frame. A size of 10" x 12" or larger would is perfect.

  • Your favourite print or pattern.



Step 1: Choosing the Perfect Frame


Select a photo frame that resonates with your style and vanity decor.  I recommend that the frame is deep, because you want the bottom side to sit flush on to a flat surface. The frame hangers and easel pieces tend to be inset into the frame.


Step 2: Crafting Your Print


Next, choose your favourite print, patterned wallpaper or fabric, or photograph. It could be a floral design, a bold geometric pattern, or even a vibrant watercolor artwork.


Step 3: Assemble Your Vanity Tray


Step 4: Personalizing Your Tray


 If you want to do really go for it; you can embellish your frame with things like sea glass, sea shells, or other cool objects.


Step 5: Styling and Enjoying Your Creation


Organize your favourite makeup essentials, perfumes, or jewelry on the tray, creating a functional and stylish focal point. Every morning will be a reminder of your creativity and flair!
