FAQ

What's the best DIY tray for beginners?

The picture frame tray or serving tray conversion are easiest—both take under 30 minutes and require no special tools or skills.

Is wood or metal better for a DIY tray?

Metal is easier to clean but can feel cold. Wood is warmer and more customizable but requires sealing and more maintenance. Choose based on your priorities.

Can I sell DIY rolling trays?

Yes, but ensure materials are safe, finishes are food-grade, and you comply with local business regulations. Custom trays can be profitable in the right market.
