In need of some new decor for your home? Why not try making your own rustic wood slice serving tray? This simple project adds a touch of nature and charm to any room. Plus, you can customize it to fit your unique style. Follow these steps to create your own wood slice serving tray.
Step 1: Gather Materials
To create your own wood slice serving tray, you will need the following materials:
- A wood slice
- Handles (either pre-made or you could use old hardware)
- Screws and a screwdriver
- Sandpaper
- Wood sealer or stain
- Paintbrush or sponge
If you don't have a wood slice, you can find them at most craft stores or online. Handles can be found at hardware stores or online as well. Be sure to measure the distance between the holes in your handles before purchasing screws.
Step 2: Sand and Clean the Wood Slice
Before beginning, make sure your wood slice is clean and free of dust. Sand down any rough spots or edges using a fine grit sandpaper. Wipe the slice down with a damp cloth to remove any excess sawdust.
Step 3: Apply Sealer or Stain
Apply a sealer or stain to the wood slice using a paintbrush or sponge. If using a sealer, follow manufacturer instructions for drying time and application. If using a stain, apply a thin coat and allow to dry completely before applying a second coat.
Step 4: Attach Handles
Mark where you want your handles to be placed on your wood slice. Using a screwdriver and screws, attach the handles to the wood slice. Make sure to use screws that will fit the holes in your handles while still being long enough to go through the wood slice.
Step 5: Enjoy Your New Rustic Serving Tray
Once your handles are attached, your wood slice serving tray is complete! Use it to serve drinks or display candles or decor. Enjoy the rustic charm it brings to your home.
