How To Make a Cute DIY Chalkboard Tray

I am always looking for cute new serving trays and ways to display treats, whether for parties or photo shoots, just something fun and different.  With the kids heading back to school shortly, of course all things school are on my mind, so when I was unpacking some things and ran across these cute chalkboards in varying sizes, I decided to try making my own chalkboard serving tray and I love the way it turned out!  This fun DIY chalkboard tray is the perfect tiered serving tray for a fun back to school party, teacher appreciation lunch, or just about any other occasion.

3. Put glue on the other end of those same two spools and place the bottom of the medium sized chalkboard on top of the spools, stacking the two chalkboards on top of one another.

4. Glue the second set of spools together

5. Repeat the steps above with the remaining chalkboards.

Use chalk markers like these to write the name of the treats you are serving right on the chalkboard tray itself.  So fun and easy!
