They are about 15" round.
I saw a tutorial on Facebook last year. I can't find it anymore, otherwise I would give credit to whom thought about this smart idea.
I will show you how I did these bead boards:
I did not trim the fabric, since it was a little loose in the rim. If it is to loose you can add bubble wrap inside the circle and then place your trays.
I used the light color fabric with the dark cover and the dark fabric with the light color cover.
I hope you like my color options.
If by chance you know whose tutorial this is, let me know and I will give credit to her.
If you buy these bead boards for this size you will be paying about $120.
These covers does not cost more $20 each.
It is a fun project!!!
Fun project and very useful. They came out well! I tend to work on multiple projects at once. You could actually make a few and keep each project separate.
ReplyDeleteHi Liz, that's what I do, I always have several projects at the same time, and I just put one tray on top of the other, it works for me, and because the tray is quite large, I can have 2 projects on the same tray.
ReplyDeleteThis is fantastic! It doesn't look hard to do at all. Thanks for showing us ~ what a savings! I would definitely spend $20, but not 120.
ReplyDeleteGreat! I am going to make one of these! Thanks
ReplyDeleteThanks for the wonderful idea.very fun and useful. Love it. 😊
ReplyDeleteWow...sure wish I had seen this video before I spent $40.00 on one! Thanks for the tutorial!
ReplyDeleteThis is great! I got a steering wheel cover that ended up being way too big. I didn't know there were different sized ones, so back to the stores I will go.
ReplyDeletewhere did you find the steering wheel cover small enough for the dollar tree pizza trays to fit in? I bought both and the cover I got is at least 2 inches too big for the pizza pans. Thanks for this post and any help you can offer, Jen
ReplyDeleteI bought the cream one at Ansar Gallery and the grey one at Walmart, you have to put a thick layer of duck tape and if is still too loose then put some small bubble wrap inside the cover to make it snug. The fabric for the cream colored is very thick, so if fits better than the grey one, this one the fabric is thinner.
ReplyDeleteI really love mine.
I hope you can make it work.
The trays I got it at dollar tree.
I think this is Karen Avey´s tutorial from Bead Weaving with a Needle group on facebook
ReplyDeleteThank you for this wonderful tutorial, just have 1 question does it matter what material you use to cover it for instance cotton, or is a softer fabric better?
ReplyDeleteI think that it is better to use a velvet type fabric like the vellux blanket.
DeleteThank you for your advice jasvanti.
DeleteThank you jasvantui.
DeleteDo you put the trays back to back? Or just stack them to make it firm? thanks for sharing, it's an awesome idea!
ReplyDeleteI put the trays opposite each other.
DeleteI actually changed the trays for foam sponge then covered with fabric.
I like the foam better than the pizza trays
Ok, thanks so much for sharing. :)
