Don’t Overlook These Trays from Goodwill – 10 Brilliant Ways to Reuse Them

Tame the chaos of remotes, coasters, candles, and phone chargers.
Place the tray front-and-center and group essentials neatly inside.

✅ Bonus: Removes visual clutter while keeping items within reach.

2. Bathroom Counter Caddy
Keep cotton balls, brushes, perfume, and hand soap organized without buying plastic organizers.

🧼 Use near the sink to corral daily essentials — then remove for cleaning.

3. Entryway Command Center
Set one by the door to hold keys, sunglasses, wallet, and mail.
No more frantic morning searches!

🚪 Choose a heavy tray (like metal or wood) so it doesn’t slide around.

4. Makeup or Skincare Display
Turn a decorative tray into a vanity centerpiece.
Arrange your favorite serums, lipsticks, or brushes like a boutique display.

💄 Feels luxurious — costs less than a makeup organizer.

5. Serving Tray (Yes, Really!)
After a good wash, most vintage trays are safe for serving snacks, drinks, or breakfast in bed.

🕯️ Perfect for dinner parties, brunch, or cozy nights in.

⚠️ Avoid using cracked or rusted trays for food.

6. Desk or Craft Supply Holder
Corral pens, sticky notes, scissors, tape, and stamps on your desk.
Or use it as a portable craft station for sewing kits, paint tubes, or scrapbooking tools.

✂️ Keeps creative zones tidy and mobile.

7. Floating Shelf Accent
Mount small trays on the wall as mini shelves.
Display tiny plants, crystals, or travel souvenirs.
