Here’s what you’ll need to make this serving tray:

Materials: Chalkboard Paint | Wood Slice (round or rectangle) | Paint Brush | Food Sealant

This project is really simple- just grab a brush and paint the surface of the wood slice leaving about a 1/4″ boarder from the edge so you can see some of the natural wood show through.

Once the paint is dry, apply a coat of food safe polyurethane to seal it.  You can grab food safe sealant at Lowe’s.

Don’t forget to include a piece of chalk or a chalk marker with your gift and it’s good to go!
