Blogger Butterfly Gail has a use for luncheon serving trays: rubber stamp storage.

A serving tray can also work well for catching scraps as you trim or punch papers, stamps and fabric. Or the backing paper of stickers and labels and embellishments. Just set the tray beneath your hands and scissors and catch the excess. Simply dump (or recycle) when you’re done. It makes clean-up a breeze!

Also good for making sure beads and other spherical items don’t roll away.

In a pinch, you can also use the bottom of a brown paper grocery bag. Just trim from about 1/2″ to 1″ from the bottom, and you have a disposable (or recyclable) “tray” to catch your trimmings.

You can find a selection of modern and retro serving trays on eBay. Find one that suits you. Or, find a set.
