I made this Decorative Coffee Station Tray to solve the problem of a messy kitchen counter top. The hubby loves his coffee but is bad about spreading his coffee fixin’s all over the counter top. So with his own decorative coffee station tray he keeps all his fixin’s neat and organized.

How To Make A Decorative Coffee Station Tray

First off find you a wood tray, then sand it if needed.

Take some scrapbook paper and position in the bottom of your tray.

Hot to make a decorative coffee station tray

Crease the edge with your fingernail so you will know where to trim off any excess paper. 

For this tray I used my wood aging solution to age my tray. You could stain, or paint it, which ever you desire. (I’m sorry back when my site crashed I lost some of the pictures in my tutorial).

Cover the bottom of the tray with Mod Podge then lay your scrapbook paper down working from one corner lining edges up. Working out any wrinkles as you go until it’s all glued down.

Let dry then add a coat of Mod Podge over the whole tray to help seal and protect it.

There you have it a pretty Diy decorative coffee station tray to keep all your coffee fixin’s neat an organized.

    This is so cute! I think a tray is a great idea for an office or church where you might be moving the coffee station. Thanks for sharing the idea!

    I love coffee stations so much! I had to make one for my boyfriend for the same reason, coffee spread from one end the counter to the next. It’s quickly become one of my favorite parts of the kitchen. This one is adorable 🙂

      Thank you Jamie! It does keep everything neat and orderly. Instead of spread all over the counter.

    Love it! I have been brainstorming my own DIY coffee station. I like to do things on the cheap, so I need to stumble across the right kind of tray. I also love using mod podge and scrapbook paper. I did a post about using it on your light switch covers!

    I’ll bet your husband loves his new coffee station 🙂

      Thank you Elizabeth! I remember seeing some switch covers with the scrapbook paper, planning on trying that out soon. I found my tray at the Goodwill.

    When I first saw the scrapbook paper, I thought that it was the actual bottom of the tray and that you did a cool paint/treatment to it. Very cool tray and i love that it is so easy to make!

      Thanks Dana! I had thought about using my chevron stencil, but decided scrapbook paper would be easier.

    What a great DIY project. We host an annual Easter Egg Hunt & Brunch and this could be just perfect for that as well. I love that not only is this a beautiful addition to your kitchen on a daily basis but can be used for special occasions too. Thanks for the idea!

    Linda, this is a great idea! I’m the one that gets the coffee fixins all over the counter. My husband would love this! We are forever wiping up after me! LOL And I am a huge lover of chevrons, so this is perfect!

      Thanks Nikki! I’m not a coffee drinker, but the hubby is and he is always making a mess so this has really helped him keep it all organized. I love the chevron patterns and the different shades of turquoise. So when I seen this pattern and color thought it would be perfect.
