Take Out Menu Serving Tray

I love this super fun Take Out Menu Serving Tray. It is a fun way to keep track of your favorite take out menus and even to serve up your take out food in the den! Make this Take Out Menu serving tray any size you want!

The kids can also help make this easy Take Out Menu Serving Tray and give it as a gift to family members, as welcome gift to new neighbors, and anyone who loves take out as a great homemade gift.

You should be able to make this Take Out Menu Serving Tray project in less than 2 hours and should spend about $35. You might be able to make it for less if you have some of the materials around the house.

To make this Take Out Menu Serving Tray You Will Need:

Take Out Menus

Pine Board

Picture Frame Molding

Plexi Glass (cut to your size)

Cabinet Handles 2)

Screws

Epoxy Glue

Miter Saw (optional)

1 inch finishing nails

Hammer

Primer

Paint (Your choice of color)

Drill

Screw Driver

The first step is to decide what size you want your Take Out Menu Serving Tray to be. I think that 12"X18" is a great size, so that is the dimensions I will be using in this project. You could also make this project in a circle, square, triangle, or any rectangular dimensions that fits the tons of Take Out Menus.

Now, you can have your board cut to size at the home improvement store or cut it yourself. You could also use an old cabinet door for this project and leave off the picture frame trim.

Use a miter saw to cut your picture molding to fit each for the four sides. You will want each piece to have a 90 degree angle cut so they can fit together like a frame. If you do not have a miter saw you could buy a simple picture frame and have your wood board cut to the same size. Use one inch finishing nails to attach the wood frame or picture frame molding to the board either way.

Now, I like to prime the entire Take Out Menu piece out in a good quality primer. Once this dries you can paint your tray any color you wish. I recommend using milk paint or a high gloss paint for added durability.

Now, take your Take Out Menu and paint some decoupage on the back of it. Place it on the serving tray.

Keep repeating until you cover the entire tray.

Now, paint on a coat of decoupage on top of the Take Out Menu.
