I have these wood trays. Any craft ideas for advent or Christmas. Any other seasonal ideas will be appreciated as well. Thanks!
Your craft impaired friend,

So, how many do you have? You could make a really large Advent Calendar.

Do you have the dozen? If so...decorate one for each of the twelve days of Christmas. Serve a treat on them each day of those 12 days.
They would make a nice "wrapping" for giving away homemade goodies as gifts. Use old christmas cards - glued to bottom and mod podged over (you can also just do this with thinned white glue) to make a nice finish. Then put wrapped breads or cookies on the finished trays and give away as gifts.
Paint 3 purple and one pink - paint the Advent words Michele mentioned, one on each tray, and have as a table centerpiece - changing each week of Advent.

OH, Mary, great ideas! I esp. like the 12 days one! 
How about the O antiphon symbols? They could still be used as gifts for individuals, with a brief explanation on a card with it?

I can do this . I do have the dozen so will look toward a 12 Days of Christmas theme. I'll probably be back to ask about 12 days worth of treats so if you have any ideas about that, please chime in  .
Thank you, all!
Love,

I guess that might not be quite what you're looking for for "treats"
