Dollar Tree Makeup Storage

I originally found this pin and decided that I would make something similar with items from the Dollar Tree (yet again):

But then when I went to the Dollar Tree, I found faux silver trays and decided that would fit better with my style. So I bought a tray in each size, a couple of candlesticks and came up with this:



Just for reference, I tried this a couple of times with the trays and candlesticks and several types of glue. Hands down the is the winner and don't waste your time with anything else. I took my trial trays and used them in my closet to for perfume storage.

I also bought a couple of clear glass candle holders to stick my makeup brushes and other items in on the top tier. 

After I'd made my creation, I came upon this pin:

How cute are they spray painted? I also am bummed that I didn't think the turn the candlesticks upside down so that I'd have more storage area on each tear. Maybe I'll try it again another time.

Grand total for project? $5 + tax. I already had the glue at home. Not too shabby!

    Any thoughts on a similar solution for jewelery? I have yet to find a ready-made one that I like. What to do with long necklaces?

    1. Thanks, Joanne! I actually did another post on how I decided to hang my necklaces so that they would be on display!
