Round Citrus Fruit Slices

Have you jumped on the tiered tray decor craze yet? Last year I bought myself a small tiered tray and fell in love with them. I got my tray at the beginning of the summer and styled in with lemon decor. Since then I have purchased a second larger tiered tray. As the summer came I realized I didn’t have anything to fill my new large tray with. I started looking for small items to create a fun summer tray. Instead of all lemons in this tray, I went with assorted summer fruits. I am loving how it’s turning out. I created some round citrus fruit slices to stand up in the tray. These are a fun and simple project to add a splash of summer decor to your home.

To create your own round citrus fruit slices you will need.

1″ thick board or scrap wood

4″ round drill bit/ or circle template

drill/ or jigsaw

paint (your choice in colors)

paint brushes

white vinyl

personal cutting machine

Start by cutting your wood into circles using a drill bit or paper template and jigsaw. Then paint each circle your desired colors (I choose orange, yellow, and lime green)

While your freshly painted wood is drying. purchase or create a citrus fruit design using your personal cutting machine. Size design according to the size of your circles and cut design onto white vinyl.

After your paint is completely dry center your white citrus vinyl over the wood circles and apply vinyl.

Now you have some darling Round citrus slices to add to your summer home decor.
