By Susan Teare

This straightforward DIY project creates a rustic serving tray perfect for snacks, fresh fruit, or displaying favorite trinkets. With years of crafting experience, I've found guests admire the handmade details as much as the treats it holds.

Materials and Tools

  • Phillips head screwdriver
  • Vintage glass shades with holes in the center
  • Recycled cabinet knobs that screw on
  • Piece of reclaimed wood or driftwood
  • 4 wheels with hardware brackets
  • Wood sealant

Prepare the Materials

Wash the glass shades with hot soapy water and dry thoroughly. Clean and seal the wood piece—for authentic charm, we used driftwood found floating in a lake.

Attach the Wheels

Secure the wheels to the wood's underside using a screwdriver or hole punch gun. Ensure they are evenly spaced and level for smooth mobility.

Arrange the serving bowls (glass shades) on the wood to finalize their placement.
