Easy DIY Charcuterie Board

I absolutely love to entertain even if it's just for my immediate family.
I know that the bit of extra effort put into setting a pretty table, laying out a simple charcuterie board, or creating that cozy reading nook makes my family feel loved.
A charcuterie is pronounced shahr-ku-tuh-ree around here, but if in France where the term originated, you will say shar-ku-trie.
Charcuterie is the art of preparing and arranging cured meats like salami.
While we love a fun night out, we are all truly homebodies at heart.
Don't get me wrong! Every night is not a beautifully set table or photo-worthy spread.
I do try to at least a couple of nights a week, make things a bit special for being home. Home is our heart.
It is no secret that I absolutely love creating charcuterie spreads, grazing boards, and fabulous meal boards. They are great for appetizers or a full-blown meal.

I have quite the collection of cutting boards and a gorgeous giant round tray that I use.
What I have wanted and don't have is a heavy and expensive marble board. I've looked. They're pricey! To have one the size that I want would be very heavy as well.
Why not create one for a fraction of the price that will be easy to move around and store away in a closet when not in use.
Removable Adhesive EasyLiner® is the perfect product to get the look for less.
Supplies Needed
- board of choice
- Removable Adhesive EasyLiner®
- tape measure
- scissors
- self-healing mat (optional)
- craft knife (optional)
I already had this board. It's a great size for a serving board and fits our coffee table perfectly. It's been in the garage for a while so we cleaned it up.
I made sure that the wood that I selected for this project was the perfect size for the width of the roll in the gray marble pattern. I didn't want to have seams to match up for this. I wanted it to look like a continuous piece of marble. Removable Adhesive EasyLiner® in the gray marble is so realistic!
We sanded it so the surfaces and sides were smooth.
What's great about this liner? If I want to change the look of the board with another liner down the road, it's removable as well as the adhesive backing.
It's so simple to use.
Many of the boards that I use are not food-safe.
Removable Adhesive EasyLiner® is not rated for food. That is ok! Here is how you get around that.
Layering is perfect for when you set a beautiful table. It's no different when creating a charcuterie spread. Line your board with parchment paper, dishes, smaller wood boards, cloth napkins, and pretty tea towels.
Instructions
Make sure your board is sanded smooth and is clean.
I wanted my board to look as seamless as possible to mimic a real piece of marble.
I first cut a piece of the liner that would fit the entire main surface of the board and set that aside
I wanted to cover the shorter ends first.
I cut a strip of liner that would fit across the 2 shorter ends.
Peel the paper backing off of one corner of the liner.
Center the liner on that short edge. Use your fingers to work the liner onto the surface of the edge smoothing it out as you go. Trim off any excess with scissors.
I used my craft knife on my self-healing mat to get a nice clean edge.
I found the next part a bit easier for me to accomplish with a second set of hands.
Ashlyn helped me with this part.
I peeled off one end of the liner and lined it up with the edge of the board. I positioned it and smoothed it down very well.
Ashlyn stood on the opposite end of the board. She peeled the paper backing off a bit at a time as I worked on the opposite end to smooth it as we went.
This part was so easy and completes rather quickly.
Flip the board over and work on finishing up the sides.
All you need to use to smooth the Removable Adhesive EasyLiner® is your hands and fingers.
I used my craft knife again to remove the excess for a clean look.
Ashlyn's boyfriend came over later that evening. He saw the finished board sitting on the dining room table. He thought it was real! Of course, that was the exact reaction that I am after with this project.
Now for the yummy part……let's place the food!
Creating a Charcuterie Board
- Line your board with parchment paper if the surface is not rated for food.
- Fabrics like napkins, tablecloths, and tea towels add a layer of interest.
- Create height with layering cuttings boards, dishes, platters, and bowls.
- Space food items on your board.
- Fill in space with items like nuts and crackers.
- Soften outer edges with parsley as a garnish.
Line the food surface with parchment paper.

Let's Dig In!!!
My family loves charcuterie board meals! We had enough leftover on this one to munch on a few more times.
I am giving myself a little pat on the back….ha, ha! I absolutely love how this turned out. I know I will use it a lot for entertaining. Marble is classic and can be used year-round!
Be sure to Pin the project and share it with your friends!

Wonderful, flavorful goat cheese spread that is perfect on its own or as part of a charcuterie spread. Divide into smaller logs to freeze.
Such Beauty in your home, daughter, and you too!
Thanks so very much!!!
Safari can’t open the Duck Brand link above. Nice work on your project and the food looks yummy too.
Such a great idea!
Thanks so very much!!
I love this. I’m so going to steal this idea. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks so much! Hope you enjoy it as much as we do!
Clever idea, and so pretty! I’m glad you addressed the food-safe issue, as I was wondering about that after seeing your Instagram post. I think even with food safe wood boards, I would use parchment or wax paper just to keep them cleaner. I have yet to create a charcuterie board, but am hoping to soon they are so pretty and yummy looking! Thanks for sharing!
Thanks so much!!!! I use parchment all the time as well! You don’t always know if they are food safe and it does make cleanup easier.
I love the board! Do you wrap the liner paper to the back?
Thanks so much! I did not completely wrap the back. Look at the above photo where my hands are stretching the paper lightly on the back. That’s all that is on the back.
Where is the lovely blue paisley fabric from?
That is a tablecloth that I bought at HomeGoods a couple of years ago.
I forgot to mention…they do make a food grade sealer that you could put on the easy liner. I found mine on Amazon but can’t think of the name right off.
That is so cool. I’ll have to look at the sealer. I usually just use parchment paper.
Not only do I love the charcuterie board but I also love the blue table runner? Blanket? Whatever it is that is under it. Can you fill me in? And where you might have bought it? Thanks!
The marbled paper I just happen to have a full roll of and everything else too so I will be using this ASAP! I love it!
Thanks so much! It is a tablecloth that I got at Homegoods a couple of years ago. I have used throw blankets as well.
This charcuterie faux marble board is the greatest idea since sliced bread! I know…thats a really old saying…I’m old.
I have been looking at and pricing large boards and yes, they are quite expensive. I’m almost out the door to buy everything to make my own! Thanks again for this idea.
Looks scrumptious! I love the marble look. What kind of spread is in the bowl?
