I taped the edges of my pan with the painter’s tape to stop the paint from getting on the edges.
Paint on the chalkboard paint and let dry. Follow the directions, mine said to let the paint dry for 3 days.
Pull off the painter’s tape.
Season the chalkboard paint by using a piece of chalk sideways and coloring the whole surface area. This step is important so that when you write on it the writing erases – if you skip this step your chalk words won’t erase as well.
Erase all the chalk.
Optional – Use E6000 to glue some twine on the back so you can hang the tray if you want.
Place your magnetic hooks on your tray. I used magnetic hooks so I could use this tray as a serving tray.
Use the chalk to write your menu, grocery list, etc.
Hook your BBQ utensils on your hooks.
Makes a great gift for Father’s Day.
These also make great lap trays for parties, and for kids during road trips. See the post here
Optional – if you didn’t want to use chalkboard paint, you could leave the tray as is. You can use bottle cap magnets to add your menu, grocery list, etc.

Nice idea! This would work great hanging in our garage with all the tools & grates my hubby likes for his BBQ. It’s close to the kitchen and he could easily grab what he wants when he cooks. 🙂
Thanks Linda and I love that idea! 🙂
That is one great way to keep track of the BBQ utensils. Love your idea. Found you on Simple Homestead Blog Hop.
Thank you so much Candy and thanks for stopping by.
Another great idea!
Thank you so much Snap 🙂
My husband could use one of these – he is always losing his grilling utensils! Thanks for sharing at The Blogger’s Pit Stop!
