Carrera Marble, is one of my favorite natural stones. It’s clean, classy and timeless not to mention expensive. Since I couldn’t have them on my countertops I opted for making a DIY Marble Serving Tray.
Suppplies you will need:
- Marble Slab
- Pull Handles (your choice)
- Epoxy or E-6000
- Felt Pads
- Ruler
- Pencil
Follow these steps:
STEP #1
Attach the felt pads to the corners on the bottom of the marble. The pads will help protect your hard surfaces.
STEP #2
Determine where you want your handles. Use your ruler to measure equal distance from the edges. Use your pencil to mark once you have the placement that you want.
STEP #3
Apply E-6000 to the bottom of the handles. Press firmly hold for a few minutes. If glue seeps out clean immediately with a Q-tip. Let it dry overnight and it’s ready for use.
This is the easiest DIY of the year. I promise….(wink)
Denise…this is so awesome! I usually am scared to do DIY projects because I’m scared I’m going to mess them up, but I think I can handle this one. Thanks so much for sharing and I think these will make great gifts for friends and family this year. You ROCK!
I love this DIY, do you think it can be done with a slate tile? P.S I love youe vids and your home decorating and organizing style.
Hello there, found you through House of Aqua. Great blog, you have great style! I’m loving this tray, it’s gorgeous and you did a great job with it. I’m interested in doing this project, but am considering having holes for the handles drilled into the stone tile and attaching them with screws; I think that’d be more sturdy.
Question: can you actually LIFT what surely must be a heavy marble tray by those glued-on handles? I’d be concerned the handles would give way and the tray would drop to the floor, possible onto someone’s foot, injuring them. Or are the handles purely decorative? Please advise.
Hi April! At first it held up for a while. Since the video…. I would say for that size piece of marble it’s for decorative purposes only. You can use an 8×8 tile to use it will hold up better. Trial an error…a safer option is to drill holes into the tile like you said! Thanks so much for stopping by April! Let me know how that works out for you my love! Happy New Year!
