Next add the center slats. Again, add a dab of glue or hell if you are a risk taker go ahead and skip this step… (But seeing as already divulged the gauntlet my kids put the last tray through I would strongly suggest it.)

DIY LONG TABLE RUNNER TRAY FOR A CENTERPIECE

It is a cheap and easy way to create some character and bulk without spending a fortune! It serves as a great foundation to any table decor, fill it with whatever tickles your fancy!

How to Build a Long Table Runner Tray Centerpiece

SUPPLY LIST:

- 1″x 4″ Standard Board - 1″x 3″ Standard Board - 1″x 2″ Standard Board - 5/8″ Dowel Rod - Sand Paper - Stain and/or Paint

- Miter Saw - Finish Nailer & 1 1/2″ nails - 5/8″ Forstner Bit

TOOLS RECOMMENDED:

STEP 1: FARMHOUSE TRAY FRAME

First construct the frame. I add a small amount of wood glue to the joints, and then reinforce with a 1 1/2″ 18 gauge nails.

Next add the center slats. Again, add a dab of glue or hell if you are a risk taker go ahead and skip this step… (But seeing as already divulged the gauntlet my kids put the last tray through I would strongly suggest it.)

STEP 2: SLATS

STEP 3: HANDLE

Next up the handle. On the side handles ( 1″x 2″ boards) you will need to drill a hole to accommodate your dowel rod handle. I used a 5/8′ forstner bit to drill mine.
