DIY Farmhouse Style Serving Tray

By

The only thing better than making your own DIY home decor, is making DIY home decor quickly and easily! I’ve been seeing a lot of cute farmhouse style trays online, but have not been a huge fan of the prices. I figured I could make my own farmhouse style tray from scratch for much less cost, and I was right! It cost me only around $35 to make this pretty DIY Farmhouse Style Serving Tray!

I left my farmhouse style serving tray simple and unadorned. But if you wanted to, you could easily make your tray fancier! You can paint a stencil onto the tray (maybe something floral, or a monogram) or if you know how, you could wood burn a design onto the tray. If you have a Cricut or Silhouette machine you could even create a detailed vinyl design to apply to the tray! So use your DIY skills and make this tray your own, or enjoy it as-is like I did!
