Yardstick Tray

The last of an odd assortment of yardsticks was sitting on my workbench just waiting for a project.

 When I found this old tray last week I knew the yardsticks would make a great base for the tray.  The glass that came with the tray was broken so I threw it away.

I love these handles.

Since all of the lettering on the yardsticks was black, I painted the tray black and then lightly distressed it.

 I cut the yardsticks to size and glued them to a lightweight chipboard backing that had been cut to fit the tray.

I attached the backing to the tray and the project was finished.

And since one picture is just never enough....

 

This project would be easy to duplicate with just about any picture frame.  Attach door/cabinet pulls to the picture frame to create handles that will turn your frame into a tray.
