This has got to be one of my favorite projects to date! So easy and inexpensive to create and the "WOW factor" is there 100%. Create your own custom serving tray with just a few materials...
- Norrlida picture frame from Ikea (buy online here or in store) - only $9.99!
- Craft paper / wrapping paper / picture collage
- E-6000 glue
- sandpaper
- 2 drawer pulls
 |
| The first one I made was used to deliver a very special Birthday gift... And she got to keep the tray as well - SCORE! |
 |
| Perfectly chic desk organizer... |
Here's the basic How-To:
 |
| Pick your paper... Undeniably, this was the hardest part for me. I went to Paper Source and got a little crazy. |
 |
| Take out the formed cardboard backing in the frame and cut your paper to match. |
 |
| Add the paper to the frame - design side up so it shows through the glass (obvi!) and seal up the frame. I chose this style frame because the wood around it edges up - just like a serving tray would. A frame where the glass and border are on the same level might not work as well. |
 |
| Finally, For the handles I used some basic kitchen drawer pulls, lightly sandpapered the areas on the frame I want to add the glue (strong glue required!) and pressed the handles on leaving it to dry overnight. |
Mother's Day, people... She'll love it!!
