How to Build Your Own Snack Trays

Snack trays are an attractive option for presenting and serving delectable treats at your parties. With a picture frame and a little imagination, you can create your own custom snack trays. You can even change the patterns in the trays to use them again and again for a variety of holidays and parties, creating a cost-effective alternative to store bought platters and serving trays.

Instructions

1

Remove the back of the picture frame to expose the glass. Remove the glass, and carefully set it aside.

2

The dresser drawer pulls will become the handles for your snack tray. Keep in mind that, when the frame is reassembled, the front of the frame should face up. Center one drawer pull on each short side of the frame, and use it as a guide for where to place your drill holes. Drill a hole into each marked spot. Make sure you place the handles in a way that the screws used to attach them will not interfere with the replacement of the glass.

3

Attach the drawer pulls to the frame using the holes that you drilled and the screws that came with the drawer pulls.

4

Place the frame facedown on a table, and replace the glass. Carefully apply a thin bead of silicone sealant around the outside of the glass where it meets the frame's edge. This will hold the glass in place and keep any moisture from seeping around the glass and into your decorations when the tray is being used for food.

5

Place decorative fabric, paper or photos inside the frame and replace the frame back. Remove any hanging or propping accessories that came attached to the back of the frame.
