Your local FEED STORE
may be the best place to look for your
FARMHOUSE DECOR
I was able to get this Tray at my local TRACTOR SUPPLY COMPANY for $3.50
Check with www.tractorsupply.com
Behrens
3 gallon Galvanized Steel Livestock Feed Tray
Remove Label
Measure and mark for your holes.
I bought my Rope at the Dollar Tree.
My holes were 3/8'' because of the size rope I was using.
I drilled my holes 6'' apart.
Please wear heavy duty gloves and protective eye wear!
You can clean up the holes by rolling pliers
Measure 20 " length for each handle.
You will trim later, but you need the room to tie your knots.
Tape ends and cut in the middle to keep both sides from unraveling.
Pull the rope through the holes,
make your knots and decide on the length you prefer.
Trim the extra length at knots.
My HUSBAND decided to use it when he picked lemons!
Well, now we know the tray is strong enough to carry about 10 lbs.
Let's make
LEMONADE :
1 CUP Fresh Squeezed Lemon Juice
TO
1 CUP Sugar
(one to one ratio)
Mix well in 1 gallon pitcher, fill with water and ice
That's our family recipe
It's almost the Fourth of July !
This is how I plan to use the tray on the weekend.
The Dollar Tree has round placemats in every color
and the placemats fit inside this tray perfectly!

I also found theses paper straws- 8 for a dollar
The pin wheels are plastic and clipped on so I am thinking
I can save them and use again.
The tray can also hold ice! So it can be a table top ice bucket!
Hang to dry or when not in use.
Enjoy the weekend, maybe have a BBQ !
