This is how you create a great tray from wooden blocks:
For this idea, you will need 19 craft blocks made from the wood of your choice. For a smoother surface, you can sand the blocks before gluing them together.
Start by gluing two craft blocks together along the short edge. Repeat this process a further 6 times. You now have 7 elongated craft blocks in front of you. Take two of these long craft blocks and another block and glue them together at right angles so that the long blocks stick to the edge of the short block. You now have the three sides of your tray.
Next comes the base: Glue the remaining five extended craft blocks to the side walls from the inside. Leave open spaces between the blocks. Make sure that the distances between these open spaces are the same. Close the fourth open side section of the tray with another block.
Finally, make the handle: to do this, glue two blocks with the short edge and the short sides of another block together to form a right angle. Finally, fix this finished handle to the centre of the basket.
