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!

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

I made this for my sister for Christmas! She loved it!
Lovely! I featured it at with credit and link back. Thanks or sharing.
Replyhot glue gun?
ReplyHot glue didn't work for this project, so I really suggest you buy some of the E6000 Adhesive that I linked above in the post!
Where can I get the E6000 glue?
ReplyI think that it can be found at most craft stores - I purchased mine at Hobby Lobby.
Awesome! Thank you so much! Look at the one I made http://pinterest.com/pin/232005818274381271/
I've checked a few dollar stores and can't seem to find these silver platters. Are they seasonal?
ReplyMy store seems to have them year round. They are usually with the dishes!
I found my silver trays with the baby shower stuff.
