Picture frame serving tray

I repurposed some very old, heavy duty picture frames into cute little serving trays.

I don't have any "in progress" of these projects because I did them long before I ever thought I would have a blog. The frame was very cheap or free. The handles, and the cute little feet were purchased from the Habitat for Humanity Restore. The "lining" is a piece of wallpaper from a free wallpaper sample book.

This one was made pretty much the same way, free, or very cheap. To make these, I removed the glass, the picture, and the cardboard backing. I cut a piece ofluan on the table saw, and glued/nailed it in place. I drilled holes for the handles.

The feet are former cabinet knobs, that I screwed into place. (the wallpaper covers the screws) I painted them both white, then dry brushed them with an "oops" pink. My favorite niece has this one. It was a birthday gift to her. She's not generally a fan of my projects, because she likes a more modern, new, and crisp look. But when she saw this, she really liked it.

    Great project (as usual) Gail...I've been thinking of making something similar for our breakfast in bed mornings. I guess I'd need taller legs though. Any ideas?

    Love this idea! I think it works really well with the type of frames you used.
