Hace rato que estaba por crear un centro de mesa para el comedor, y de hecho mi esposo me hizo uno hace un tiempo, pero decid铆 cambiarlo para la cocina pues me pareci贸 se ver铆a mucho mejor ah铆 y as铆 fue, luce realmente lindo, pero ese cambio me dej贸 nuevamente con la mesa del comedor vac铆a y despu茅s de buscar ideas en pinterest me decid铆 por una bandeja que por supuesto har铆a yo misma, y decid铆 usar para ella un hilo para bufandas s煤per bonito que ten铆a en casa, as铆 podr铆a darle un toque especial a mi bandeja con el uso del crochet que definitivamente a todo le va bien.
I had been thinking about creating a centerpiece for the dining table for a while, and in fact my husband made me one a while ago, but I decided to change it for the kitchen because I thought it would look much better there and it did, it looks really nice, but that change left me again with an empty dining table and after looking for ideas on pinterest I decided on a tray that of course I would make myself, and I decided to use for it a super nice scarf yarn I had at home, so I could give a special touch to my tray with the use of crochet.
En mi b煤squeda de ideas de bandejas tejidas me encontr茅 que para ellas venden una base de madera con perforaciones por todo el borde para a partir de ah铆 realizar el tejido, pero la verdad es que aqu铆 donde vivo no hay nada parecido, as铆 que me pas茅 por varias ideas para poder hacer mi bandeja tejida y la soluci贸n fue usar un marco de madera de los que traen los lienzos para pintar, y cart贸n, con eso tendr铆a la base perfecta para trabajar, y les digo que am茅 el resultado y por aqu铆 les comparto c贸mo la hice.
In my search for ideas of woven trays I found that they sell a wooden base with holes all around the edge to make the weaving, but the truth is that here where I live there is nothing like that, so I went through several ideas to make my woven tray and the solution was to use a wooden frame that bring the canvases to paint, and cardboard, with that I would have the perfect base to work, and I tell you that I loved the result and here I share with you how I made it.

Como les dije al inicio me estuve paseando por varias ideas para el centro de mesa, y en un principio no pensaba hacer una una bandeja como tal, sino una especie de tapete redondo para lo que necesitar铆a hacer solo una cadeneta muy larga que luego coseria para darle la forma circular y hacer un peque帽o borde y listo, pero luego, como siempre sucede conmigo, a mitad del proceso decid铆 que har铆a una bandeja, pero utilizando igual la cadeneta, as铆 que comenc茅 con ella.
Hice la lazada inicial y comenc茅 a armar la cadeneta, y como ven, la aguja que utilic茅 no era la adecuada para trabajar con ese tipo de hilo, pero eso no iba a detenerme, as铆 que aunque el proceso iba a ser mucho m谩s lento, decid铆 trabajar igual, y lo que hice fue alargar un poco cada punto para que se viese como si estuviese usando la aguja adecuada.
Elaboration
As I told you at the beginning I was going through several ideas for the centerpiece, and at first I was not thinking of making a tray as such, but a kind of round mat for which I would need to make only a very long chain stitch that I would sew to give it a circular shape and make a small border, but then, as always happens with me, in the middle of the process I decided I would make a tray, but using the chain stitch anyway, so I started with it.
I made the initial loop and started to assemble the chain stitch, and as you can see, the needle I used was not the right one to work with that kind of yarn, but that was not going to stop me, so even though the process was going to be much slower, I decided to work the same, and what I did was to lengthen each stitch a little bit to make it look like I was using the right needle.
La verdad no cont茅 la cantidad de cadenetas que hice, ya que lo que hac铆a era probar cu谩nto hab铆a avanzado dando la forma circular y ver cu谩nto m谩s faltaba, pero fue justo ah铆 cuando me di cuenta que no me iba a alcanzar el hilo y decid铆 cambiar el plan, porque cerca de casa no se encuentra, as铆 que tuve que sentarme a pensar qu茅 har铆a y me decid铆 por hacerla con un marco de madera y cart贸n para el fondo.
The truth is that I didn't count the number of chains I made, since what I did was to test how far I had progressed with the circular shape and see how much more was missing, but it was right there when I realized that I wasn't going to have enough yarn and I decided to change the plan, because I couldn't find it near my house, so I had to sit down and think about what I would do and I decided to make it with a wooden frame and cardboard for the background.
Lo que hice fue recortar el cart贸n del tama帽o del marco, y para eso utilic茅 una regla y el cutter, y listo este paso, proced铆 a pintar el cart贸n de blanco, y aunque pensaba darle dos capas, con una sola me pareci贸 que se ve铆a s煤per lindo, como una especie de p谩tina, as铆 que lo dej茅 de esa forma.
Finalmente con la pistola de silicon fij茅 la madera al marco y ya ten铆a la base para continuar trabajando.
What I did was to cut the cardboard to the size of the frame, and for that I used a ruler and the cutter, and ready this step, I proceeded to paint the cardboard white, and although I thought to give it two coats, with only one I thought it looked super nice, like a kind of patina, so I left it that way.
Finally with the silicon gun I fixed the wood to the frame and I had the base to continue working.
Ahora ya solo ten铆a que realizar la cantidad de puntos que me permitieran dar tres vueltas a la base de la bandeja, ya que en realidad no la quer铆a muy alta pues la idea era usarla para poner algunos objetos decorativos, as铆 que no necesitaba que fuese alta, por lo que segu铆 armando la cadeneta hasta alcanzar el tama帽o que necesitaba y luego con ayuda de la pistola de silic贸n fij茅 dos hileras al marco, solo para cubrirlo.
Now I only had to make the number of stitches that would allow me to make three turns at the base of the tray, since I didn't really want it to be very high because the idea was to use it to put some decorative objects, so I didn't need it to be high, so I continued making the chain stitch until I reached the size I needed and then with the help of the silicone gun I fixed two rows to the frame, just to cover it.
Para la tercera y 煤ltima hilera seguir铆a trabajando con hilo y aguja de coser, y lo que hice fue dar puntadas peque帽as para unir las dos hileras de manera que no se viera el hilo. Y trabaj茅 de esta manera en los dos lados m谩s largos de la bandeja y en los extremos m谩s peque帽os decid铆 hacer un asa, as铆 que lo que hice fue coser solo una peque帽a parte, el espacio que ocupaban 5 cadenetas, cort茅 el hilo y dej茅 sin costura una parte para luego volver a unir, cinco cadentas m谩s hacia la esquina de la bandeja creando as铆 el asa. Un toque que me pareci贸 precioso.
For the third and last row I would continue working with thread and sewing needle, and what I did was to make small stitches to join the two rows so that the thread was not visible. And I worked this way on the two longer sides of the tray and on the smaller ends I decided to make a handle, so what I did was to sew only a small part, the space occupied by 5 chains, I cut the thread and left a part unstitched and then rejoined, five more chains towards the corner of the tray thus creating the handle. A touch that I thought was beautiful.
Al llegar al final lo que hice fue coser hacia abajo la cadeneta restante de manera bien prolija, recort茅 el excedente y coloqu茅 un poco de silic贸n caliente en la punta y estuvo lista mi bandeja decorativa a crochet.
When I reached the end, I sewed down the remaining chain stitch very neatly, trimmed the excess and put some hot silicone on the end and my decorative crochet tray was ready.
Como ven, inici茅 este proyecto con una idea en mente, pero me toc贸 cambiar de plan a mitad de camino, ajustarme y buscar una soluci贸n, pero la verdad es que am茅 lo bonita que se ve, y una vez que le coloqu茅 lo que ten铆a destinado para ella siento que luce realmente bonita y muy acorde con toda la decoraci贸n en casa, y definitivamente entre el color, y el tejido, le aportan mucha calidez a la mesa de vidrio. 驴Ustedes qu茅 piensan?
As you can see, I started this project with an idea in mind, but I had to change my plan halfway through, adjust and look for a solution, but the truth is that I loved how beautiful it looks, and once I put what I had intended for it, I feel that it looks really nice and very consistent with all the decoration at home, and definitely between the color and the fabric, it brings a lot of warmth to the glass table. What do you think?
