Watch as Better Homes and Gardens shows you how to make DIY copper serving trays! Serve up party treats with these enjoyable DIY projects that transform a boring party platter into an unexpected showstopper. To bring these DIY ideas to life, you'll need a 12 x 12-inch wooden art panel that's been primed and spray painted, 8 feet of 2-inch copper strapping available at gacopper.com, double-sided tape, 220 grit sanding block, work gloves, tin snips, a transparent ruler, and a dry erase marker. Measure and cut four 12-inch pieces of copper and four 11-inch pieces of copper. Use the sanding block to sand off the cut, uneven edges of the copper for the serving platters. Bend the edges of the copper up 1 inch from the edges, using the ruler for guidance, on both sides of the 12-inch pieces and one side of the 11-inch pieces. Lay these pieces into a square with the bent edges pointing up. Fold and press these edges together at each corner. Thread an 11-inch piece of copper onto the square and secure with double-stick tape on one side and folding the edges down on the other side. Repeat with another strip on the same side, then thread the remaining two 11-inch pieces onto the square going the opposite way. With the folded edges facing down, insert the copper square into your food trays, and you're ready to bring out your glistening masterpiece. These easy DIY projects will look adorable when contrasted with a painted serving tray that corresponds with your party's theme!
