Crafters have found creative ways to repurpose Dollar Tree picture frames into various items such as drawer organizers, plant hangers, and tables. One popular DIY project involves turning an 11×14-inch frame into a stylish tray adorned with river rocks and handles. By using only Dollar Tree items, you can create a decorative or functional tray depending on the materials and process you choose. This project was shared by @Gleespen Designs on YouTube, showcasing how a $3 frame from the Dollar Tree Plus section can be transformed into a unique tray.<\/p>\n

For this project, you will need a large wooden frame, two metal drawer pulls, river rocks, a glue gun, paint or stain, and a brush. The color scheme and design of your tray will depend on your choice of frame and stones. If you can’t find a suitable frame at Dollar Tree, a plastic frame can be used for a purely decorative tray with added reinforcement. E6000 glue is recommended for a secure bond between different materials.<\/p>\n

To create a decorative tray with a plastic frame, remove the glass and reinforce the frame with glue. Paint the frame, arrange the river rocks, and attach the handles with hot glue. For a smoother surface, epoxy resin can be used to secure the stones in place.<\/p>\n

For a sturdier and more functional tray, consider using a wooden frame from a thrift store. In addition to the previous supplies, you will need a drill and epoxy coating for added durability. Attach the handles with screws for a stronger hold. Follow similar steps as the budget-friendly version but with the addition of epoxy resin and drilling holes for the handles.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
