A hawker’s tray simply belongs to every Bachelor Party. But if you don’t want to buy* a hawker‘s tray, you can easily make one yourself. We show you how.
Materials for the vendor’s tray
- a box – shoe box, fruit box, it doesn’t really matter – the main thing is that it’s big enough
- Paint – any paint, the main thing is that it does not stain when dry
- wide ribbons – for example fabric gift ribbon
- Decoration – glitter, stickers, tinsel, whatever suits your Bachelor Party is allowed
- Scissors / saw and pencil
- depending on the decoration stapler, glue, etc.
*Our instructions are a little easier with cardboard, but all the DIYers are welcome to go wild with wood.
Making hawker’s tray – Step 1 – Marking
Start with your box. Measure about 2-3 inches from the corner at the front corners of your hawker’s tray and mark the spot.
Then draw a line on the long side from mark to mark, and on the short sides from your mark to the opposite corner.

Now cut or saw off the cardboard/wood along your mark to create the classic hakwer’s tray shape.

Now poke 4 holes for your ribbons with scissors just below the corners.
Make sure that the holes are big enough so that you can easily put the ribbon through.
