10 Easy To Do Farmhouse Tier Tray and Riser Diy’s

Using tier trays and risers can really take your decorating style up a notch. However, they can be quite expensive. Here are 10 budget friendly do it yourself tier trays and risers. I hope you get tons of inspiration. If you would like to see the full step by step video tutorial, make sure to click on my YouTube video at the end.

Riser # 1 is made using a Dollar Tree cake pan, painted to look like galvanized metal. The base is a ceramic candle holder sitting atop a round plastic container from Dollar Tree, painted a distressed white. This riser can give height in your decor and can be decorated in many different ways.

Riser # 2 is gorgeous! Using two wood rounds from Wal-Mart at $1 a piece, glue wooden beads between the two. I purchase my wooden beads from Amazon here: https://amzn.to/3Kqtt0r

The base is a glass candle holder from Dollar Tree painted with white chalk paint and then antique wax added to the entire riser. I love how this turned out, and only cost a few dollars to make.

Riser # 3, is a painted version of riser # 2. Using a distressing paint technique with white chalk paint, you can customize this riser to fit into your color theme.

Riser # 4 has a unique shape. Most risers you see are round or rectangular. Here you have two hexagon shaped risers to give your decor a more modern look. The one on the left has a Dollar Tree candle holder as its base while the one on the right has wooden beads on each corner.

Riser # 5 has a classic look that never goes out of style. This piece is all wood. Using a wood round from Dollar Tree’s Plus section and wooden beads as feet, all stained with Antique wax, gives this riser such a gorgeous finish.

Riser # 6 is stunning! Removing the feet from the previous riser and combining this with riser # 4 (the hexagon riser), takes these two pieces to another level of beauty. The crisp white of the base combined with the beauty of the wood is simply gorgeous.

#7 is a 3 tiered tray that can serve as not only home decor, but can be functional for organizing. It is made from three wooden trays from Dollar Tree and paint stir sticks!

You can use this on your kitchen counter to hold snacks, or on your bathroom counter to organize some of your smaller items.

#8 has to be one of my favorites. This two tier rectangular tray is made from old wooden picture frames, and a wooden leg from a 1980’s coffee table. You can display much larger items, and change the decor out for every season.

#9 is a beauty made from scrap wood pieces. It is sturdy and made to last. I have the decal used here as a free PDF printable (click on the free printable link in the menu). You can print this onto copy paper and use the transfer method onto your project.

#10 is another favorite. It is made from the wooden panels from the Dollar Tree Plus section. Each panel costs $3. An old candle stick is used as the base between the two and 4 wooden beads added as feet. Another nice size tier tray.

I hope you enjoyed this post, and if you would like to recreate one of these, don’t forget to watch my YouTube video below to get the step by step instructions. I would love for you to subscribe on YouTube as well. It is a free way to help support my channel! xoxo Barbara

Is it the thrill of hunting for that hidden gem, or the savings? For me it is both! I love to go thrift shopping and get so excited when I find some amazing pieces at rock bottom prices. I know they look a little rough around the edges, but with just a little work and elbow grease, you can transform it into a beautiful piece of decor. Sometimes with just a simple coat of paint, you can really bring new life into a piece. And that is just what I did for these 3 thrifted items. To see what they looked like before and to see the full tutorial on all three pieces, check out my YouTube video at the end of this post.

The first item I made over was a wine carafe that I purchased for only $1. I sprayed two coats of Krylon Fusion Spray Paint in the Color Matte White , you can find here:  https://amzn.to/3f8YSYf added some black chalk paint and a few greenery stems, turning this used wine bottle into a gorgeous farmhouse decor piece.

The second gem I found, was a small picnic basket. When I picked it up, I could just image flowers and greenery bursting from inside, as if it were growing out of the basket. There wasn’t a price tag, so I was a little skeptical went I went to the register to ask how much it was. To my surprise, it was only $1. What a steal. Using the same Krylon Fusion Matte White Spray paint, and adding buffalo check ribbon, this basket turned from drab to fab.

Adding simple greenery, lavender, and babies breath, and it is just what I imaged it would look like when I originally picked it up.

And the third piece was truly a hidden treasure. Tucked away on the bottom of a shelf was a wooden piece, that I was unsure what it even was. Once I picked it up, I realized it was a charging station. Not just any charging station either, this piece sells on Wayfair for $49, and I purchased this one for $3. Now that’s a bargain. Using the same spray paint and simply adding a decal I made with the Cricut Joy, and now I have a gorgeous, high end, farmhouse charging station to hide all of those messy cords. If you like this decal, don’t forget to check out my free printable page here https://wordpress.com/post/countrylilydecor.com/179 You can print this design out and trace onto your project.

I am pleased with how my thrifted items turned out. I hope you are inspired to create something beautiful for your home on a budget. For the detailed tutorial, see my video below. Take care everyone, xoxo Barbara
