Do you have a bunch of old frames laying around or do you want to just spice up your coffee table or bar? Either way this frame turned coffee table tray is a simple and inexpensive do it yourself project you will enjoy for years to come. My favorite part of this project is that you can change out the scrapbook paper to match seasons or holidays!
If you want to make this project but need most of the supplies? We sell the kit in our SHOP with everything you need to create these creative project.
Materials:
- Frame
- Ceramcoat Paint
- Mod Podge Gloss
- Foam Brush
- Kitchen Hardware Handles (I got mine at Lowes for $1.95 each)
- Cardboard
- Scrapbook Paper
- E6000 Glue or Super Glue
Directions:
- Remove the back and glass from the frame. If it has a stand on it, throw it away and trace a new back out of the piece of cardboard.
- Using your Ceramcoat paint and foam brush paint a coat of paint on the front and sides of the frame. Wait about 15 minutes in between applying coats.
- Once your paint has dried apply two coats of Mod Podge Gloss, waiting 5 minutes between gloss.
- Replace glass and add decorative scrapbook paper and secure back.
- Next attach the handles with E6000 glue. Let handles dry for 30 minutes.
- Display and add decorative pieces like vases and coffee table books.

Response for MDK:
Sorry if it is confusing but you put the paper under the glass just like you would with a picture in a frame and then you can change them out for the season or parties! I literally have one of these in every room! If you make it make sure to tag us on social so we can see your beautiful creation!
