Servings 1 bar tray makes

What you need

  • (4) Gold or Brass 9/16" x 1 1/4" Decorative Corners with screws
  • (1) 20" x 20" decorative tray with square edges
  • (2) Gold or Brass drawer handles
  • Drill or Epoxy 6000
  • (1) chrome restaurant stand
  • Gold Spray Paint
  • Felt or fabric (optional)
  • Scissors

Directions

  1. Place hardware on the bottom corners of the tray and screw in the decorative corners using a screwdriver, or use Epoxy 6000 if you prefer not to drill.
  2. Mount drawer handles in the center of each side of the tray using the same method. Note: if using epoxy only, handles are decorative and cannot support the tray's weight.
  3. Spray paint the chrome restaurant stand with gold spray paint and allow to dry completely.
  4. Place your tray on the gold stand or mount permanently with Epoxy 6000.
  5. Optional: Cut a piece of fabric or decorative paper to line the inside of the tray for a finished look.
