DIY: Repurposed Frame Trays
This Memorial Day weekend, chances are that you’re serving something up at a party. That’s why we love GirlieGirl Army’s crafty take on serving trays! See below for details.
I always feel a wave of excitement when I find piles of old wooden frames in a thrift store. The possibilities are endless, but here’s one I hadn’t thought of—turning the old frames into chic serving trays.
HOW TO:
Take frames, sand off any splintery bits. Paint or treat if you choose to, but I like them au naturel. Take a thin piece of wood (available at craft stores) or cut a thick piece of cardboard to match the back end of the frame if missing its natural backing.
Cover wood or cardboard with vintage piece of fabric or old scarf. You can also use wallpaper scraps. Glue to backing with non-toxic glue stick and secure to frame. Throw those vegan sliders on, and offer to your guests.

Post a CommentVery cute idea!
This is a very chic idea! I saw this before at a wedding show… and depending on the right centerpieces and linen it makes a fabulous statement.
I’ve seen this idea before and I think I may try to go to some of the antique shops near me to find frames.
Nice idea.. I love arts and crafts
It does still look like a frame still, but it is an interesting idea.
Good idea!
I’ve seen this before, I think it looks too much like a frame still. I probably wouldn’t do this one.
