Using glue seams like you're asking for trouble. Screwing the handles in is a lot more secure.

I left off the acrylic (which I may regret if it cracks and breaks) but I intend to leave this on the dresser with perfume bottles on it, so hopefully it'll be ok.<br /><br />Thanks for the idea anyway, clearly it has been percolating in the back of my mind for a few months now!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01974693183743525915noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8864666002840991252.post-15466575827347911952016-01-27T16:07:06.895-06:002016-01-27T16:07:06.895-06:00Hi Britt,

I thought I was getting a polished brass similar to the inspiration tray and what I pictured is exactly what I received. I actually like the brushed look a bit better though, so it was a happy surprise. :)IHeart Organizinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05084013302005288836noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8864666002840991252.post-64936220953308363102016-01-27T14:52:03.702-06:002016-01-27T14:52:03.702-06:00This is beautiful!

I like the handles in your photos but don't want to order them if they're really polished brass. Did you do something to your handles or is it just showing up different in the photos?

However, in the long run, you ha e to remember about the value added if you are the kind of person who likes to make things and be crafty! Since we're on the storage topic lately, I'd love to see a round up of inexpensive but decorative conceiled storage...in a small space things like remotes and coasters can make it look cluttered, but I struggle sometimes to find decorative solutions for items i use daily.

I did consider insetting the screws, but went with a thinner piece of acrylic to save on cost and didn't know if it could handle much inset... And it doesn't bother me that the adhesive is visible, being the bottom it is not seen (in the ways that I am using the tray). A frosted acrylic could potentially solve that problem if you think the bottom would have a chance of being visible. :) Thanks Emmy!IHeart Organizinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05084013302005288836noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8864666002840991252.post-17905751954002346572016-01-21T17:58:15.528-06:002016-01-21T17:58:15.528-06:00Thant is such a beautiful tray!

Also, does it bother you that the adhesive is visible through the acrylic? Granted you do not look at the bottom of a tray much!
