How To Build A Wood Serving Tray

By Stacy 236 Comments

The giveaway is now closed

The winner is: Jessica Bellow Little-Greenberg!

I have been thinking of making a serving tray for awhile but never found the time. Since I had to take a break from our bathrooms, I thought this would be the perfect time to tackle this project.
how-to-build-a-serving-tray-

Isn’t she cute? And now my boys have no excuse for not bringing me breakfast in bed. Actually, I overheard my 6 year old tell my 9 year old that he can’t wait to get sick so he can have me bring him soup on the tray. Silly boy :)

I could have just built a simple tray and called it a day. But sometimes it is all about the little things. Sometimes the small details really make a project. I decided to make “wood tiles” to line the bottom of the tray.

Before I share the tutorial I wanted to also let you know that YOU will have the chance to win a $250 Home Depot gift card! Woot! Woot!

P&G, Home Depot and I have teamed up to show you how to clean up a messy DIY project. And one lucky winner will receive a package with Bounty paper towels and a gift card :)

bounty-and-home-depot-gift-card-giveaway

Paper towels are a DIY staple at my house. I use them every single time especially with building, staining, and painting.

Alright, since there are so many little steps I thought I would put the pictures in a collage and then discuss the steps below. That way you are not scrolling like crazy.

steps-in-making-tray

1. I bought 1×2 boards at Home Depot for $1.25 per 8 feet. I bought 2 but didn’t use it all. It depends on the size of your tray how much you would need, but 2 board should be oodles even if you build a really large tray. I used my miter saw to cut them into squares. It would also look super cool to cut them into long rectangles and tile it brick style to look like subway tiles.

2. Figure out how you want them arranged. I purposely had the grain going all different directions. I like the look of it being random. But you certainly don’t have to do it this way. It is totally a preference thing. I did the same thing to the drawer fronts of my card catalog. I numbered the “tiles” so that if they got moved around I would still know where they went. My 3 year old knocked them off the counter so I was glad I opted to do this. Measure the size you need the bottom to be. I used an old piece of plywood and cut it to size using my jigsaw.

3. Glue the “tiles” to the base using wood glue. I spread some on the bottom and also added it to the right hand side and top so that the next tile going on was stuck to it. You will have a little leeway to slide them around to line up the corners but you do need to work fast because the glue starts to bond pretty quickly.

4. Make sure to have a damp paper towel handy if the glue seeps out of the cracks. Glue does not stain well (even if it says stainable) so you don’t want any on the surface.

5. I sanded it down until it was all smooth. Because I used 2 different boards to create the tiles, there were slight differences in thickness.

6. Wipe off the dust from sanding so you have a clean surface to stain.

7. I cut 1×4 boards to go around the base to form the sides. I used my miter saw to cut at an angle. Mitered joints are prettier than butt joints. (If you are not sure what that means see my floating side table post) I nailed them with my brad nailer (nail gun) then used putty to fill in the nail holes. I used dark colored putty since I would be staining it dark. Pick your putty according to the color you will be staining and make sure it is sandable and stainable.

8. Use Pre-Stain Conditioner! This will ensure you get even coloring ESPESCIALLY with soft wood like pine.  Minwax has a water based version and an oil based version. If you plan to use oil based stain then use an oil based conditioner (and vice versa). If you aren’t sure if it is water or oil based read the label or visit the website.

9. Staining is a messy part of this process. I line my work area with paper towels especially when working with oil based products since they are harder to clean up. I wear gloves and use a foam brush to apply the stain. Once it has sat on the wood for a bit, I wipe it off with a paper towel. The longer you leave the stain sitting there, the darker the color will be. If it is still not dark enough for you, do a second coat.

10. After the stain has had time to completely dry, apply a sealer like polyurethane, with a high quality brush.

11. Once the first coat has dried, use a very fine grit sand paper (220 or higher) to buff it. Wipe it off with a damp paper towel and apply a second coat. I actually did three coats of poly on this project. It helped seal all of the cracks in between the “tiles”.

And last of all, add the handles to make it easier to carry :)

serving-tray

All I need is a good book and I am all set!

serving-tray-up-close

Another one of my favorite tricks is to stick a paper towel over a can before I hammer it shut. This works for any liquid in a can. I have learned the hard way that sometimes there is excess liquid sitting in the rim of the top of the can. When I hammer it down it squirts all over me. Having the paper towel there prevents it from making a mess. Some of you are nodding your head saying “Oh!!!!”

You’re welcome :)

    I have been following you for a while, but have recently changed my blog name (formerly http://thellamabarn.blogspot.com). We are near the end of the conversion of a barn into a house and will be moving in at the end of this month. I would use this Home Depot prize to purchase materials to build some furniture and would use the Bounty paper towels to stain the furniture and clean up the big mess I am sure I will make in the building and staining process. Bounty is the ONLY paper towel brand we use in our home.

    My messiest DIY? Would have to be the one I’m working on now. My sun porch had grass-like outdoor carpet covering every bit of the floor. We’ve pulled it up. Unfortunately, whoever put it down spared no expense in the glue department. Not only are we fighting with old spider webs, but now we are fighting with old adhesive gunked onto concrete. There’s even old black rubber from the under side of the grass carpet. I cannot wait until it is all finally scraped up! A Home Depot gift card could really help speed up the process and make it a beautiful space to hang out in this summer!

    My messiest DIY was spray painting wooden chairs outdoors!! First I thought the driveway would be an ideal flat area for spraying them not really though because I stained the driveway with huge paint marks and that was the moment I realized windy days aren’t good for spray painting outside…I don’t exactly plan out my DIYS, it’s something I need to work on ; )

Never thought of using one to cover paint as I close it up, but will from now on! I recently splattered green paint on my dark-stained cabinets because closing a lid!

    My messiest DIY project is anytime I have to sand anything! We live in a small apartment, so no garage or yard, and in the middle of winter when there are two feet of snow outside, I’m definitely not heading out into the alley to sand! So I just do it inside in a large cardboard box and hope that the dust doesn’t get everywhere. Usually does though so it requires some serious cleanup with a wet rag after. :-)

    My messiest DIY project was when we were painting our kitchen with oil base paints several years ago. The lid didn’t get securely fastened on the paint pail one evening. The next morning we were getting ready to go to work, and one of us accidentally knocked it over. All over our low pile kitchen carpet (once popular – why???). I called my boss to see if I could stay home to save the carpet, as we had no $$ to replace the flooring. He let me, and I spent the day scrubbing the carpet with paint thinner. Then soapy water. Then rinse water. Long day. Carpet saved. Carpet was still ugly! BIG MESS!!!

    I came across your website yesterday through a fellow math teacher’s Pinterest on Quadratic foldables! I was up for hours just browsing through your projects. You inspired me to get started on some ideas I’ve been putting off, because before yesterday, I would have rather hired someone else to do it. I started painting the baseboards today, and right before I finished, my 2 year old daughter woke up from her nap. She told me to go wash my hands outside, because It was getting pretty messy towards the end. We both went outside, and the hose nozzle was on “jet” when I started cleaning all the paint supplies. White paint splatters covered us both! We look like human Dalmations!

    I don’t know what’s come over me, but I’ve got list now- cabinets are next after the baseboards (after reading your spray paint cabinet tutorial). Thank you so much for sharing your passion. It is contagious. :)

On the table, the chair, my clothes, my hair… I even had little tiny paint flecks on my glasses. I should probably plant a few trees for all of the paper towels I’ve used in my day.

    When my youngest was just learning to pull up on things she pulled up on an open can of paint. The lid had been laid lightly on it, but I had already cleaned up the drop cloths. Paint was everywhere.

    Painting the metal stair railings was very messy. The black paint seemed to dribble everywhere, especially when we painted the spirals.

    Haven’t done it yet but I am about to try some finger painting with my son. I am going to buy a canvas and make some paints so we can decorate his room! I will need some bounty for sure!

    Anytime I paint, it ends up being messy! We use at least a roll of paper towels cleaning up spilled paint, cleaning up mistakes and cleaning our hands!

    What turned out to be a terribly messy DIY project was when I got my hands on some Miss Mustard Seed Milk Paint even before it was released. (Don’t worry, she helped me get it, I didn’t do anything bad!) I mixed it up, sat it on this huge tool cabinet I had laying in the garage, and was painting away when I lifted the lid to a door and it went flying all over the garage floor. Talk about messy! Milk paint is very thin. It was not fun cleaning it up. It was also not fun wasting the whole quart I had just mixed.

    I”m still trying to refinish an old desk. LOTS of grooves and curves. Probably not the best for one of my first stripping projects.

    Beautiful tray! So simple. One of the messiest projects that I’ve undertaken has been with our two kids (under 3 years old). Water and corn starch exploration.

    This is a great idea. Every year, I look for a DIY project that kids can do with their parents as gifts during the holidays. This looks like one of those projects. Great idea!

    My husband and I DIY a lot of wood projects and I am the designated stain and varnisher. I recently discovered, after getting dark stain on myself basically from head to toe, that vegetable oil will remove stain from your hands and fingernails so you can wash it away. It also makes your hands nice and smooth. Try it.

    I love this project, and I think I can do it with my limited woodworking skills. Question–what did you use for the base wood to glue the wood squares onto? Thick or thin plywood? Thanks!
