    Great idea! I love the woody, rustic edges to the tray, as well and those handles you’ve added really make it extra special.

    After looking at those pictures, I’m craving blueberries. 🙂

    Love it! Which craft store?

    • Shayna says:

      THANK YOU so much, Pam! I generally shop at our local craft store, which is small in comparison to Michaels or Hobby Lobby, but they do carry really fabulous things! I think I’ve seen the wood at Michaels & Hobby Lobby.

  16. I love this idea, Shayna! I’ve walked by those wood slices at the craft store so many times and loved the look of them, but didn’t have any brilliant ideas for how to use them. Now you’ve inspired me and I am definitely planning on making a chalkboard serving tray of my own! Thank you!

    How neat. Thanks for sharing. What kind of pen did you use to write on the tray? It does not look like chalk.
    Is it a paint pen? Does it come off?

    • Shayna says:

      THANK YOU so much, Barbara! 🙂
      The pen is a chalkboard pen and easily comes off with water. It’s so much easier to write with! 🙂

  24. Tanja says:

    Oh I am so loving your ideas and copying them into my home. So much fun. I received a lovely rectangle shaped wooden chopping board for Christmas and when I saw your post I decided to make a chalk board out of it for the kitchen. I taped the edges and left the handle to have the wooden border and the rest I sprayed with chalk paint. It turned out lovely and my husband and children love the little chalk notes we can write on it. Thanks for the inspirations Shayna!

    • Shayna says:

      THANK YOU so very much, Tanja! I’m so happy you made your own- and that you LOVE it! Yay! 😀
      Hugs!

    • Shayna says:
