A Hexagon Honeycomb Tray

Hexagons and honeycomb patterns are so popular right now and I have a fun {and super easy} project to share with you: a hexagon honeycomb tray. This was such a fun little project, kind of like putting together a jigsaw puzzle. Let me show you how I made it.

You’ll need a wooden tray {check your local thrift store for a cheap tray if you don’t have one at home} and vinyl in various, coordinating colors. The great thing about this project is it can be as temporary or as permanent as you like. Keep the tray covered in vinyl hexagons forever or peel them off when you get tired of it and you have a clean slate.

Using a cutting machine, cut hexagons in every color. Mine are about an inch wide. If you don’t have a cutting machine, you could use a stencil or template and scissors … it’ll just take you a bit longer.

In order to ensure that you get off to a straight start, mark a line across the tray. I used a piece of duct tape and lined it up with the edge.

Once the first couple of pieces were down, I removed the duct tape and continued on with my pattern.

Lay the hexagons side by side, leave some spaces open, and just have fun with it. I varied the colors but didn’t follow any particular pattern. If you get to an edge, use a craft knife to trim the excess from your hexagon.
