Repurposed Industrial Metal Serving Tray
I'm on a mission lately to make projects with all the cool things I've been collecting in my basement.
Please visit the bold blue links for more information and the products I recommend for this project.
Today I'm turning this old metal drip pan I bought at a garage sale into an industrial serving tray we can use on the patio this summer.
I cleaned up the tray with scouring powder in the basement slop sink then drilled 2 holes in each end of the metal tray and inserted thick rope for handles.
I used this fabulous Route 66 stencil from Old Sign Stencils by Funky Junk Interiors to give the tray a quick stenciled design on the bottom of the tray then lightly sanded the image.
This gorgeous industrial tray is perfect for the picnic table this summer and was an easy repurposed project that took less than 30 minutes.
The black and white theme I have going on my patio this year works great with the look of this industrial tray.
I love that I can leave this tray outside on the table and don't have to worry about it getting ruined.
Visit Old Sign Stencils for a huge selection of stencils that can be used to create gorgeous projects for all over your home and yard.
