Wooden Rustic Serving Tray

Every year I change my home decor right after the holidays. I really want to focus on minimal with a touch of rustic. My hubby and I love the outdoor brought inside. If we had our dream home we would have a large backyard full of trees. However, we live in a two bedroom apartment with a small balcony, the good thing is I always make it work. I started with taking a wood slice or slap and making a serving tray.

I made the wood serving tray to place the milk and cookies for Santa last year. I also like to use it our romantic date nights.

If you don't have a tree in your backyard that you can chop down then go to your local craft store and they have wood slaps. You only need to do a couple of things. Sealing the slice of wood is good to start. It keeps it from drying especially if you live in California. 

I used Shellac which has a sweet smell and it dries in about an hour. I did two coats to seal the entire slice of wood.

After the wood has dried I attached the drawer handles to the wood. 

Just keep in mind that the sealer will darkened the wood a little. Now you have your very own rustic wooden serving tray!
