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 E6000 Adhesive
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!
These look great! I love the color ones!
ReplyDeleteI love it! Great idea!
ReplyDeleteI like your silver ones. Great idea!
ReplyDeletesuper idea! love how it turned out.
ReplyDeleteSo cute! I love that!
ReplyDeleteThese look really pretty and functional too!
ReplyDeleteAny 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!
DeleteLovely! I featured it at The Storage Geek with credit and link back. Thanks or sharing.
ReplyDeletehot glue gun?
ReplyDeleteHot 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!
DeleteWhere can I get the E6000 glue?
ReplyDeleteI think that it can be found at most craft stores - I purchased mine at Hobby Lobby.
DeleteAwesome! Thank you so much! Look at the one I made http://pinterest.com/pin/232005818274381271/
DeleteI've checked a few dollar stores and can't seem to find these silver platters. Are they seasonal?
ReplyDeleteMy store seems to have them year round. They are usually with the dishes!
DeleteI found my silver trays with the baby shower stuff.
DeleteI like the silver it looks more expensive and more classy:)
ReplyDeleteHi Stephanie - found you from Pinterest. I really like your version. I actually made one with Dollar Tree supplies also, but mine didn't have those pretty silver trays. I also spray painted mine similar to the other picture you found. I think I will look for those silver trays you used so I can make another one. :) Here's a link to the one I made, but I love your version. :)

I just made my tower from Dollar Tree and I am thankful for the idea!
ReplyDeleteWhere did you get the candlestick holders? I went to the dollar tree and couldn't find any there that match what you have. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteI found them around the floral/vase area of the store!
Deleteneat. what kind of paint did you use to paint the trays and glass candle sticks?
ReplyDeleteThe painted ones are actually pinned from Pinterest. If you click the link directly below the image it should take you to the post which should have those details!
DeleteHi, did you try gorilla glue? I dont want to order the glue
ReplyDeleteThey E6000 can also be found at walmart in the craft section.
ReplyDeleteI always buy the E6000 glue at my local Dollar General. They have it for $3.00.
ReplyDeleteWow that is so very awesome! Beautiful makeup storage. I just decided that I need one.
