  • Wood Glue
  • Clamps
  • Nail(s)
  • Hammer
  • Paint

Steps (7 steps, 60 minutes)

  1. 1

    For this tutorial, I'm re-using some old recycled wood. You can use almost any wood if you want though, new or old.

  2. 2

    Cut your wood into three sections for the base and four smaller sections for the sides.

  3. 3

    If you want to apply paint, I recommend doing this before affixing the wood together. You can paint all seven sections, or just the four sides - which is what I'm doing for mine.

  4. 4

    Apply wood glue between the three pieces of wood that will make the base and clamp together whilst they dry.

  5. 5

    Nail the four sides into the base using a hammer and nails.

  6. 6

    Drill two holes on two opposite sides of the tray and feed rope through to make two handles.

  7. 7

    Enjoy your new serving tray!
