Easy Decorative Tray With Round Legs. -Build and Decorate

Learn how to build and decorate a simple decorative tray with round legs. This DIY project is perfect for adding a stylish touch to your home decor. Hi guys! Let's create this easy decorative wooden tray with round legs. I recently visited my local Michael's store to see what I could find for making a decorative tray for my sister, who currently lives in Hawaii. I was excited to find several options, but I decided to go with this one. It was such a straightforward DIY project and took very little time. 




Video tutorial


Be sure to watch it on YouTube!

Materials needed for this

- One pack of wooden doll heads. - $4.49

-One Wooden plaque. - $6.49

-Sponge brush

-E6000 Adhesive

-Wood Stain (I used Mocha for my stain) 





Staining your tray and wooden doll heads

Begin by moving to a well-ventilated area. Place a bag or tarp over your workspace. This will help protect your work area from accidental spills or splatters when you begin to stain your tray and tray legs.  Start by staining your wooden plaque. Apply the stain on the front, sides, and bottom. You will want to completely cover your plaque with the stain. Once that is finished, set it aside and allow it to dry. 

Take your wooden doll heads and repeat this step. Apply stain to all four wooden doll heads. Once you have done this, set it aside and allow the doll heads to completely dry. 

Attaching round wooden legs to the tray

Once everything is dry, flip your plaque over, and apply some glue to the bottom surface of your wooden doll heads. Place them onto your plaque. You will continue this step until all four wooden doll heads are added to the bottom of your plaque.  Set your tray aside, and allow the glue to completely dry. Once the glue is completely dry, you can start to add on your decorations.





I wanted to show my sister how her tray would look when it was finished. I added a few Autumn decorations onto the tray. 

Just a few ideas for your tray

You can add mini lights, greenery, an LED candle, and some cute framed art.  

You can add an autumn garland, a scarecrow, a mini pumpkin, and fall decorative lights.

Anything can be added to your tray, and I love that you can decorate your tray to match the current season. Have fun with it, and explore different design styles. 

I hope that you all have enjoyed this simple DIY project that is perfect for any space in your home and can match any theme.
