A decorative tray made from a wooden picture frame.I have many picture frames I have collected through the years. Since I am using less on the walls, I came up with a decorative and useful project idea, so that they can be used as a display or serving tray with an interchangeable insert.

Total Time: 2 hours

Yield: 1

Supplies:

  • picture frame
  • decorative paper
  • spray paint
  • glue gun
  • knobs
  • beads (optional)
  • drill, optional if you add the knobs

Steps:

  1. First take your frame and remove backing and glass; set aside.
    2. Turning A Picture Frame Into a Display or Serving Tray - frame before starting

  2. Spray paint your frame. Allow to dry.
    3. Turning A Picture Frame Into a Display or Serving Tray - paint the frame
     
  3. With a drill make holes for knobs (optional). These were also spray painted to match.

  4. The backing from your frame is used as a template to cut to size your insert. You can cut out as many as you like to have interchangeable looks.
