DIY Coastal Tray

Sharing is caring!

It’s Power Tool Time and this month we’re all sharing a tray project and I made a DIY Coastal Tray.  You guys know I love all things beachy and this tray captures that nautical vibe.

DIY Coastal Tray

I’m a huge fan of trays.  I think they work in every room to add layers and textures, so building a tray was a fun project for this month’s Power Tool Challenge.

Here’s what I used…

Coastal Tray Supplies {affiliates included for your convenience}

  • 1″ x 3″ x 6′ (this is your tray sides)
  • two 1″ x 2″ x 6′ (these are your slats for the base)
  • miter saw
  • drill
  • nailer
  • rope
  • kona stain
  • paint

Cut your 1″ x 3″ board down.  You’ll need two 12″ pieces and two 18″ pieces for your sides.

I used my nailer to attach them together.

Then cut your 1″ x 2″ boards down.  For this size try I cut 12 slat pieces at 13 3/8″.  Then I painted and stained the boards.

To create a fun, striped pattern so I alternated the slats with natural pine, turquoise, kona stain and white.

I attached the slats to the base with the nailer as well.

I used a drill to make holes on the sides for the rope handles.  Use some painter’s tape at the end of your rope to make it easier to thread through the holes.

I love how it turned out!  So fun and perfect for the summer months ahead.

I’m thinking this tray is permanently parking it on our coffee table through summer!

    This tray is so cute and just right for summer. I like the varied colors. I am in total awe of someone who can make something like this from “scratch”. Great job!

      Every time I click on your tray, it take me to something else (How to make an engineered print into canvas). I even tried to find it on Pinterest. No luck! Where can I find it?

        I thought I was replying to a comment from Wendi @H20Bungalow.
        I love your tray and hers, but I can’t get to the tutorial on hers.
