I love having friends over for, well, just about any occasion. I love creating the menu, the decor - everything. I do find one thing I always need more of when I have a party is table space. Food, drinks, plates, cups, utensils - it takes up valuable food space on y serving table. I whipped up this DIY service station to help with that problem and I think it looks pretty cute too!
When I originally built this is was for the 4th of July, but with a few adjustment in decor, it suit any occasion...like that big football game coming! It's so simple to make, it only took me about 1 hour!
Here's the 4th of July set up. The station itself is 2 pieces, a bottom tray and a top. You will need a few boards: 1x8, 1x6, ans 2-1 x 3 to make this project. Plus you will need 1.5" wood screws.
I have a full list and diagrams of cut sizes for the boards on the blog post.
I created my tray with 2- 1x6" as the base and 1x3" on the sides. They were screwed together with wood screws.
The measurements I used for my exact crate and stand can be found on my blog. I used the measurement purposefully so that I could stack the stand inside the crate for easy storage as well.
For the football themed party I used metal buckets (about $1 each), painted them brown and added a football detail.
There you have it - a totally versatile DIY service station that works for so many occasions!
