Part of the draw of March Madness is the excitement of guessing who will make it to the final four and championship games. How about a few predictions before the big game? Create a custom piece of functional decor for your March Madness buffet table and add your predicted score to the tray. Learn how to make this super cool basketball scoreboard serving tray. It is the perfect DIY for a sports fan and a Slam Dunk Basketball Party.
First, create a time box on a Small Slate Tray using Colorful Masking Tape. Our box was 9" wide and 5" tall.
Add the time to the box using silver numeric stickers or poster board letters.
Next, use Letterman Sapphire Alphabet Stickers to label the "Guest" score, "Home" score and "Period." Follow the layout shown on the final tray.
Glue a Mini Chalkboard Bulletin Board Cutout under the guest and home labels. These cutouts will frame the team scores.
Using a White Fine Point Chalk Marker add the team scores and the period to the tray.
Seal and secure the decoration on the tray with Mod Podge®. While Mod Podge® is non-toxic, it is not food safe. Use a clear plate on top of the tray before putting your food down, or simply use the tray to serve other smaller dishes.
Finally, add mustard, dips and salsas to Mini Round Favor Bowls with Lids and Mini Clear Appetizer Plastic Bowls.
