so I’ve had some spare time recently and started crafting and came up with a CHEAP way to make a dice tray and I thought I’d share. I picked up a Small Pallet Decor Piece from hobby lobby and wood burned it. Then I took a stencil I got online and painted red followed by a high gloss varnish. Next I took some red faux leather to make the insert and DONE! A dice tray for under $10.

Looks good! The stencil is a nice touch. I have been looking for an unfinished round or oval frame deep enough to use as a dice tray, but so far, no dice.

The link above isn't to the product - it's a link back to this thread.

The key is the depth of the block-type picture frame used for a dice tray. You will want a frame which is at least one inch deep. You could possibly stack two, or more, frames on top of each other, using Wood Glue (requires bare wood -- no stain, or anything else on the wood surface, for a strong bond), or you could use E6000 Glue if the wood has some sort of finish on it. Set books on top of the stacked frames, making sure the edges are all lined up properly.
I converted to using a Dice Tower, a few years ago. The tray it empties into, is superb at keeping my dice under control. I no longer chase dice across the floor, nor do I see them crashing into figures on the table, knocking them around, disrupting the carefully set up units, in the midst of combat! A dice tray will accomplish the same thing. Once you get accustomed to rolling dice in a container of some sort, you won't want to go back to rolling them across the tabletop. Cheers!
