Patriotic Wood Tray DIY. The Rio 2016 Olympic Games start in just a few weeks. We love watching all of the events and are so excited to throw a little Olympic party to celebrate!

Of course we enjoy seeing all of the athletes from all over the world, but since we live in the US we are rooting for our home country to win. I thought it would be fun to make a long serving platter with the USA Team’s colors – Red White and Blue to use as we watch the events.

Patriotic Wood Tray DIY. This project is super affordable – it just uses part of a $3 board from Lowes, some paint and a couple handles, also from Lowes. And be sure to check out the giveaway at the end of the post for some awesome P&G products and a $150 Lowes gift card!

Here’s how to make this Patriotic Wood Serving Tray DIY:

painting stripes on the tray

  • Decide how big your tray will be. I bought a 9 inch wide pine board and had the great people at Lowes cut it to 22 inches in length.
  • Sand the edges of the board.
  • Spray paint the board and let dry overnight.
  • Decide what pattern of stripes you want on the board. I put one large stripe down the center and two smaller stripes on each side.
  • Tape the stripes off with blue tape. Make sure the edges are sealed very well so your lines are perfect.
  • Paint the stripes on your board. I did three coats of paint on my stripes. Make sure each coat is dry before you add another coat of paint.
  • Pull the tape off the board.
  • You can seal your board with either polyurethane or epoxy. I used Dimensional Magic which gives a very good sheen and it’s very durable.
  • Measure in 2 inches and drill the holes for your handles and attach the handles.
