{DIY} Dollar Tree Three Tier Tray Tutorial

in Christmas, create, Dollar Store Crafts, holidays on 11/05/14

Say that title 3 times fast! Although the title of this post is a tongue twister, the tutorial to make this Dollar Tree Cupcake Stand I am going to share today is super easy! Today I am going to show you how to make this Dollar Tree Cupcake Stand, and  just like yesterday’s 15-Minute Magnolia Wreath, this is made with a couple items from your local Dollar Tree.

You may ask yourself what does a Dollar Tree Cupcake Stand have to do with the holidays?

Well, just about EVERYTHING!

Hosting a holiday shin dig? You can use it to display cookies and apps.
Do you have overnight guests coming? Why not stick this in the bathroom with some soaps, towels and little bottles of toiletries?
Coffee drinkers? Set up a beverage station.
Need a quick centerpiece? Layer some ornaments or pine cones and call it a day!

Seriously, the possibilities for this Dollar Tree Cupcake Stand are endless!

And you can have all of that fun for about $5 and an hour of your time! Intrigued?

First things first, you need to hit up the Dollar Tree. Yep, go ahead and add these items to your Dollar Tree shopping list, along with the foam wreath form to make your Magnolia Wreath!

Supplies Needed:

– Pizza Pan for $1
– Round Cake Pan for $1
– Pie Pan for $1
– Two Clear Candlesticks for $1 each
– Gorilla Glue

Step 1: 
Take the pizza pan and one clear candlestick.
Use your glue to adhere the candlestick to the pan.

I used a heavy tray to add weight while it dried.

Continue gluing the pieces together until you have your tiered stand.

From the top to the bottom you will have:

Round Cake Pan
Candlestick
Pie Pan
Candlestick
Pizza Pan

I let the Dollar Tree Cupcake Stand all sit for 24 hours before I started using it.

UPDATED TO ADD: I made a super fun and festive red one too!

And that my friends is how you make yourself a super versatile Dollar Tree Cupcake Stand to use this holiday.
Here you can see how I used it in our guest bathroom for out of town guests filled with toiletries.

    You could spray paint it a metallic color for some added sparkle.

    Wish I would have gone to the Dollar Tree, but I still did not spend much more. My pizza pan was $2, 2 cake pans for $1.50 each, have two matching fat candle holders. I just finished spray painting them. Red, white & red. Not sure if I will put feet on the bottom or not. Could use glass stones. I was planning to use that craft clay to hold everything as I do this with plates and bowls, then use the for make up and bathroom things. This new tray tiers I want to use for Christmas items as you see in tons of pictures. I plan to use some fairy lights, the blankets of snow, snowmen, angels, all kinds of fun things. I can’t wait. Then use for anything else like goodies, coffee bar, Easter, Fall, Halloween, etc. Now since I will be keeping them together, not like my bowls & plates when I do those; so I have some of that glue you mentioned. Maybe that would be best instead of loading things up and then it falling. I am soo excited about this project. Can’t wait for the paint to dry.
