We plan to hang them on the wall and want the serving tray feel.
Instruction for hanging trays on a wall.
I would try hanging lamp chandelier chain it comes in different finishes attached with s hooks spray painted to match chain attached to the tray handles suspended from a decorative knob screwed into the wall.
Basically narrowing the part you would shove in the sleeve.
To hang i used a twist tie to secure the round platter to the nail in the wall.
Stabilize the position of the tray if needed with small pieces of poster putty pressed between the tray and the wall.
Hang the tray by placing the hanger loop over the wall hook.
These trays seem a bit flimsy but considering what they are made of you cant expect them to be heavy duty.
They are light weight and the handles do move around.
Rated 5 out of 5 by stretch58 from perfect for farmhouse decor these trays look great on the wall in my farmhouse kitchen date published.
You can get double ended screws to attach the knob to the wall.
Leave the hange part intact.
The bend the narrowed point up ward to hold the tray.
See if you can schrunch the wire on the right and left ends top to bottom.
I might add some glue to hold the handles in place and facing outward.
Bend it howere much is needed to hod the tray secure.
For the oval platters which have edges that round up like a bowl i used two hooks each turned sideways and i flipped the hooks to create a hole for the nail.
You can also cover the chain with a cloth sleeve.
