Decorating any space at home with trays can make all the difference. Do you agree?
Add your items in a beautiful DIY tray. And there it looks much better than plain. Instead of just making decorative DIY trays for serving. They are used to spruce up many spaces at home now. I am sharing 15 different ways to make decorative trays or refashion old ones.
Let’s have a look at:
DIY trays
DIY tile tray
Use backsplash tiles to turn an ordinary wooden tray to tiled tray.
Crochet DIY Tray
Use doilies or crochet mats to refashion an old tray.
Stenciled decorative tray
Paint a tray with your favorite design. Learn how to stencil a decorative tray!
Cardboard tray
Turn cardboard into a decorative tray with fabric. Love this thrifty idea!
DIY yardstick tray
Use rulers (yardsticks) to decorate the base of a tray.
Make wine cork tray
Use wine corks to decorate the base of a tray. I love the distressed painted frame of this tray too.
This tray gives you a reason to save those corks.
Wooden tray tutorial
This one needs patience and time. Cut pieces of plywood and glue them onto the tray.
The painted chevron lines give a fun effect.
Painted DIY tray
Think of a design and cover the tray with painter’s tape.
Go wild with colors. Remove the tape and you have a color blocked tray.
Handmade mosaic tray
Buy some mosaic tiles and use them to make a tray.
DIY serving tray
Turn a picture frame into a tray. All you need is a scrapbook paper of your choice for base.
And dresser handles for lifting, screwed into the frame.
DIY fabric tray
Cover an old baking tray with fabric using spray adhesive. What I love baking trays is they are magnetic.
You can use them an organizing boards and so much more.
Bottle cap tray tutorial
Spray paint bottle caps. Stick them to the base of your tray. What a fun idea!
Gold and Silver decorative tray
Cover a frame with silver leaf or gold leaf. The cut-out paper botanical motive looks so pretty.
Make wooden tray
Glue plywood to make this beautiful tray.
Make breakfast tray
Another picture frame turned into a tray using fabric. It gave me an idea to use stencil to write on tray fabric. Kind of a custom tray for breakfast in bed.
Vintage bed tray
Last but not the least. Chalkboard paint a vintage tray.
