2. Sweet tray or trinket dish

Sure it’s styled on a coffee table here but this pastel tray would work equally as well in a bathroom. Use it as a tray under a bathroom vignette or make a slightly smaller dish for your jewellery or hair ties. Made from polymer clay, you can have so much fun creating your own version. For example, you could use different clay colour combinations or play with different tray shapes.
