Budget Friendly Tiered Tray

Hello friends! This week I’m at the Snap blog conference. I went for the first time last year and had such a great time I had to go back! Join me on my Snap adventure by following me on Instagram @dolendiaries Since I’m off having so much fun I had to share something as equally as fun with y’all! I am totally OBSESSED with this Budget Friendly Tiered Tray in it’s vintage-inspired pink beauty!

I have been drooling over tiered trays for a while but they can be pricey. I found this guy at Harbor Freight Tools while waiting for a birthday party to end at a near by Chuckie Cheese {that place stresses me out!} and I just HAD to have it! Psst….they are on sale right now, too. I think I need at least four more of these don’t you!?! Okay, okay so I’m not sure what I’d use them for but I love them!

**Warning…it takes forever to put together. My sweet, sweet husband put it together one Saturday morning while I was having coffee with a dear friend and it took him an hour. He’s crazy handy, too. But his hard work was SO worth it!

As cute as the tiered tray was on it’s own I really wanted to make it pretty. It was going into my craft room so I had a rare pink opportunity. I picked Krylon’s Ballet Slipper in a satin finish and this is currently my favorite color. It’s pretty, girly, and has a fun vintage vibe.

I popped the tiers off and sprayed the bottoms first and then flipped them over and sprayed in inside of the trays.

After all the paint was dry I reassembled the tiers and brought it into the house. I quickly realized that it smelled very strongly of spray paint and took it out into the carport to air out for a few days. I use mine to as a catch all for the craft supplies I’m currently using.

I rarely finish a project in one sitting and this beauty allows me to keep my work space free and my supplies handy! What color will you paint yours!?!
