How fun is our chalkboard serving tray guys!? These are great for entertaining, centerpieces and they also make great gifts! Check out our video on how to make your own here!
We purchased a 2×12 framing board from Home Depot. It was about $13 and we are able to make 3 trays! We used a 10″ sliding compound miter saw to cut these. If you don’t have a saw, you can have your hardware store make these cuts for you!

Step 1 – Make Cuts
We cut our board 24″ long. You can make yours as long as you want!
Step 2 – Stain
Next, stain your board! We used Provincial by Varathane for ours.
Because we are staining such a small piece, we just used wiping cloths to apply our stain and wipe off the excess.
Step 3 – Tape the Edges
After your stain dries, tape off the edges and sides using painter’s tape.
Step 4 – Spray Paint
Now for chalkboard spray paint… We love this stuff!
Just give the exposed wood a coat of it.
Step 5 – Attach Hardware
Now for the hardware!
You can have so much fun with this part! We used simple rustic pulls, but you can change yours up to fit your taste or give it a different look!
We are lovin’ it!! You can easily make these for around $15 a piece which makes them perfect as gifts!
Thanks for stopping by!
