Welcome to our unique DIY project, where we'll create a rustic, country-style tray together. We've all been there: breakfast in the garden often ends up with more food than one person can carry. A practical tray with handles is a must! Dive into the world of crafting as we create a practical and stylish accessory for your home. Let's get started!
Material:
- A board of your choice
- sandpaper
- Wood oil
- Old leather belt or fittings
- screws
Step 1: Cutting the board
- Start by cutting the board to the required size. Here you can let your creativity run wild and adjust the dimensions entirely to your liking.
Step 2: Careful sanding and rounding of the corners
- After cutting, it's important to sand the board thoroughly to create a smooth surface. We recommend slightly rounding off the sharp corners for comfortable handling.
Step 3: Sealing with wood oil
- Give your tray an attractive shine and protect the wood by sealing it with wood oil. This not only gives it a beautiful appearance but also protects it from external influences.
Step 4: Cutting and greasing the carrying handles
- Cut carrying handles from an old leather strap and treat them with grease to ensure they last and have an authentic look. Tip: Make sure to leave enough room for your hands. Alternatively, you can use old hardware, for example from a cabinet.
Step 5: Mounting the handles
- Now all that's missing is the finishing touch! Attach the prepared carrying handles or fittings to your tray using screws. Make sure they are securely and firmly attached.
Now you're ready for your next breakfast cooked in the oven. Enjoy the practical functionality and rustic charm of this homemade gem in your home!
