Belted Tray
I tried to come up with a clever title--bad news, it is not happening. The good news--my belt inspiration continues (see my other ideas here). I started with this familiar looking pile:
Slapped a little paint on the frame,
and a little stain.
I laid some belts out on the back piece of the frame (it is wood, very solid).
Glued them with some E6000 and weighted them down with a book and weights.
Put it all together, added belt handles to create a great tray (and no, I don't eat my Girl Scout cookies with a fork, but it looked better). I used saddle soap on the belts to protect the leather.

That is interesting looking- never would of thought to make a tray with belts. Where did you get all those? lol
ReplyDeleteThat looks VERY cool! I love it! Are those girl scout cookies??? YUM! Didn't you make a belt basket? Or is that something else....I'm tired. ;)
ReplyDeleteYou already got your girlscout cookies? Love the tray!
ReplyDeleteVery Creative idea. Love it.
ReplyDeleteGuess I'm not the only one to notice the cookies first, then the tray! Pass the cookies please, (on that very cool tray...)

Great idea and it looks really good! Thanks for sharing, Vicky
ReplyDeleteAmazing idea, looks great!
ReplyDeleteBecky, I was a bit apprehencive at first, but the end result looks great, and I wouldnt mind a cookie either!
ReplyDeleteGreat use for arm weights! I've switched to a kettlebell and didn't know what to use them for. Although the belts aren't something I thought would be my style, I love the finished tray and could see it in my living room.
ReplyDeleteWow! I love that! What an awesome idea!
ReplyDeleteLove, love, love this!!! What a great use for old leather belts. The tray is fabulous! I'm definitely bookmarking this. I think it has a wonderful masculine look and would be a fun gift for Father's Day....served with breakfast in bed.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the inspiration!
