{DIY} Chalkboard Serving Tray



This is such a great DIY, for you or to make as a gift. It is fairly easy...patience is what is the hardest part.

[SUPPLIES]
Chalkboard paint
Paint brush
Tray (ceramic, aluminum, wood)
Painters Tape or Masking tape



First things first. Work smarter not harder :) That will never leave my head. Thank you beauty school. Anyways, tape a border around your painted area. This is going to be your savior, I promise.

Then, you guessed it paint inside the lines. A VERY THIN COAT!!! (Not the best picture, but you get my point.)


Let it dry. Seriously, do not rush this part. If you are to quick to put the next coat on you will take the first off. It needs time to harden. (I let it sit overnight and did another project meanwhile.)

I painted a total of 3 thin coats. Then tore the tape off and was left with a super cute tray with perfect lines :)

Try it. It can be used to serve different cheeses, jams, spreads, fruit or anything that may need a little label or just a little cuteness and personality.
