Creating a Kitschy Colorful Backdrop Usng Vintage Metal Trays When Displaying Antiques and Collectibles

Vintage Metal Snack Trays Make Fun Displays Behind Glassware

Vintage metal snack trays are wonderful backdrops when displaying antiques and collectibles. I especially like to add color and interest behind vintage glassware and find the older 1940s and 1950s snack trays to be just the right size and shape for a kitschy look in my shop "Kitsch n Stuff". Notice how the colors of the tray and the glassware compliment each other.

  1. I wonder what happened to all those cheerful metal trays. There were so many once upon a time.

  2. I agree that Vintage Trays make Beautiful backdrops to any Vignette. We use ours every day as TV Trays too so they're not only pretty but functional.
