DIY Challenge – A ZGallerie Tray Get’s Repurposed #30dayflip

I can not believe the month April is almost over and my challenge is nearing the end. I have accomplished a little so far this month and now I am in crunch mode to get it all done.
I wanted to show you all how I took a ZGallerie Tray that I had, and repurposed it to “fit in” with my makeover in my rental kitchen.
This tray isn’t that old. I think I purchased it within the past few years, but it really wasn’t working with my coffee table of living room decor.
I had to get my creative “thinking cap” on to see how I could reuse this tray without having to get rid of it. (As a DIY-er, I wonder/worry almost everyday that I am a little bit of a hoarder… but then I watch an episode of hoarders and I am okay again.) I try to purge many unnecessary belongings when I can, but if I can use something I will to save money.
The supplies I used:


1 Tray – I got mine from ZGallerie a couple years ago. It is wooden. If you are trying this project at home, make sure you are using a wooden tray.


My power drill (with appropriate drill bit) This is the one I have and use.


Little C hooks


2 – 1 3/4″ Screws – Here is a great assortment of wood screws* if you are looking for some.
Step 1


I took my power drill and drilled 3 holes.
Step 2


I used the screw end of the c hooks to secure them in the wooden tray.
Step 3


I hung the the tray vertically next to my coffee bar using my power drill and the longer screws.


Step 4


I hung my 3 coffee mugs. I wanted to keep it simple and clean. I didn’t want this decorative hanger to look too crowded so 3 mugs in a straight line seemed like the best option.
Step 5


Now I am enjoying this fabulous addition to my rental kitchen!!
