Hosting a party is much easier when you have the right serving pieces. Luckily a serving tray (figure A) is simple to make. - A four-sided "something" such as a picture frame or old mirror can serve as the base. Keep an eye out for one that is thick enough to prevent snacks from spilling off the sides.
- Old cabinet or drawers pulls (figure B) are a good choice for the handles. Look for a pair with depth to provide something to grab onto.
- Dont forget to pair them with long screws that will span the thickness of the sides (figure C).
- Measure and mark for you handles.
- Using a drill bit that is slightly smaller than your screw, pre-drill holes.
- Then screw the handles in place.
- For a personal touch, try decorating the tray by lining the glass with postcards, fabric or photographs.
- Its a good idea to reinforce the back. Just glue on a thin piece of wood and youre ready to party, provided you have the "goods".
