DIY Wooden Casserole Tray
Check out what I just BUILT! Wooden Casserole Trays… and I did it all by myself!
I saw a cool tray like this on Pinterest a few weeks ago so I pinned it and then after I read the easy tutorial, I decided to try my hand at a little woodworking. Please keep in mind that I had never used a miter saw or a compressor nail gun before but I learned quickly that it’s a lot of fun!
I enjoyed making the tray so much that I made several more the following day.
I’m thinking… Christmas Gifts!???!!!
Here are a couple of action shots so you can see that I actually cut my own wood and built the trays MYSELF. After I cut the first piece of wood, I belted out in song “I’m Every Woman…” My husband rolled his eyes at me… I think he gets that from my daughter 🙂
So here’s what you need:
2 pieces of 1″ X 4″ (6 ft pieces)
Gorilla Wood Glue
Nail Gun
Saw
ASCP Paint
ASCP Clear Wax
ASCP Dark Wax
Sand block in medium grade
I got my wood at Lowe’s and got the two 6 ft pieces so they’d fit in my car.
I used ASCP on all of these trays with dark wax (which completely changes the paint color)
Pictured From Left: Chateau Grey, Duck Egg, Country Grey
HANDLES:
The country grey handle is from Hobby Lobby and the other two are from Lowe’s.
And it holds my 9 X 13 inch glass dish perfectly 🙂 YAY ME!

I always tell myself, do it in August and somehow it's September before I know it. Thanks for the tutorial!

August 25, 2012 at 10:17 pmCame over from Rustic Restoration. Brave, brave woman! I get a small power tool from Santa each year (though he is embarrassed to say the present is for his wife!). BUT I do not have a saw like that (What a beauty!) or a nail gun (I might not be brave enough for that one!)
Love the trays and the colors you chose. Just add me to your Christmas list!

August 26, 2012 at 12:27 pmI love this! I'm not a power tool girl but maybe I can get my hubby to make me a few of these! I'm always carrying things off to the school or hubby's work and these would be perfect to use.
