How to Make a Stylish, Cane-Back Serving Tray

Cane furniture and decor is having a major spotlight moment in interior design right now and we want in on the action! Investing in a large piece such as a statement chair might not be in the budget, but you can still integrate this woven look into your home decor with ease. This DIY serving tray is the perfect way to add a touch of trend to your entertaining style.

Prep Caning Material

Flatten your roll of cane webbing and cut an 11" x 14" piece. Set aside. Pro tip: use the 11" x 14" plexiglass sheet as a guide.

Mark + Drill Holes for Hardware

Using a marker, map out drilling points for your cabinet hardware on the plexiglass sheet, making sure they are evenly placed on each side. Using a drill bit that matches the diameter of your brass hardware, drill four holes.

Prep Picture Frame

Remove any glass or matting from your floating frame and place plexiglass inside.

Add Caning

Add cane webbing and snap into place using the floating frame hardware clips.

Finish With Handles

Poke cabinet pull screws through the back side of cane webbing and plexiglass and secure tightly to the brass pull on the front of the frame (top of tray). If the screws for your hardware are too long for the frame you’re using, simply swap out with a shorter screw in the same diameter.

Enjoy!

Style your new tray on a dining or coffee table and enjoy all the compliments your trendy accent piece is sure to receive.
