Make your own Coffee Tray

I looove coffee, anytime, anywhere, any kind.......my favorite
 

Large Iced Nonfat Latte.....yum !

 

 



 

I'm getting distracted......

 

Let's make a tray.

 

 

I had a long piece of pallet wood.

It was 5 1/2" wide and 3/4" thick. Cut  2 pieces 12" long.

Stain the wood with your favorite stain.
 

 

Cut 2 pieces of thin scrap wood 10" x 2" to use on the back as a connecting brace.

 

Use a staple gun or brad nail gun on the cross pieces.

 

(This picture also shows where I drilled holes for the handles.)

 



 

 

I had saved these old cabinet pulls thinking I could use them for something.
 

 

 

I think they will work perfectly for tray handles.

 





 

 

I painted the handles with Rustoleum Black Semi Gloss paint.

 

After your stain has dried, next comes the stenciling.

Black Acrylic Paint and Stencil Brush

 

 

 

 

 Set your handles on top and mark.

 

 

 

 

Use a spray sealer on the wood to protect your stencil.

 

You might spill coffee.....yes, it could happen!

 

 

 

 

 









Drill holes and add handles

 

 

I had some foam circles from Dollar Tree.

 

  

 

 I used them on the under side to protect the kitchen counter and glass table tops.

It will also keep the tray from sliding.

 

 

 

 

Tray can lay flat or tilt on side and display when not in use.

 

 

 

Wouldn't this be a nice gift for a coffee drinker?

How about a pound of favorite Coffee on top of tray,

 beautifully wrapped in cellophane?

 

 

 

 

I made two, one to keep and one for a gift. 

 

 

 





It's the perfect time to have a cup of coffee now !
