Welcome to this months' "Do It Over Designers" Blog Hop! The "Do It Over Designers" is a group of creative bloggers who love to recycle/upcycle/ DIY, hosted by Anne @The Apple Street Cottage. It happens the 4th Saturday of every other month and it's all about taking something old and/or unused and 'doing it over' into something new. Normally we don't have a theme, but every now and then Anne wants us to 'do over' a certain item. This month's theme is Metal! Thanks Anne for hosting this wonderful blog hop!
The best part about this DIY staggered tier treats stand is that it's made of metal! Two types! Stainless steel plates and brass candlestick holders! Perfect for this month's 'Do It Over Designers' Bog Hop Metal theme! I picked up both items and more at my neighbors' moving giveaways! That sounds a bit strange but just before the pandemic hit, my next door neighbors were moving from Maryland to Texas in a U-Haul and had a 'take what you want' from items in their garage. Which meant that the plates and candlestick holders and a few other items I got were free! You certainly can beat that!
Here's What I Used To Make the Stand:

This is really a quick and easy to make staggered tier treats stand! I'm using five stainless steel plates that are 13, 10, 9, 8, and 7 inches wide.
and four brass candlestick holders with various heights of 3, 5, 6, and 7.5 inches.
Beginning with the largest plate . . . I visualized the candlestick holders placed on the plate below, as pictured:
That looked pretty good, so I began adding RapidFuse adhesive - a quick grab glue that sets in 30 seconds - to the base of the first candlestick holder.
Placing the first candlestick holder down on the left side of the plate and . . .
gluing the second plate on top of the candlestick holder.
Then placing the second candlestick holder on the right side. Which I didn't like, so I . . .moved it closer to the front of the bottom plate and glued those pieces down.
Next came the fourth candlestick holder and plate glued down near the back center.
And finally, the fifth candlestick and plate glued down near the back right side.
Easy-Peasy!
I'm really loving the staggered look of this tier treats stand!
It's an adorable way to elevate your treats presentation with a charming four tier staggered metal stand!
And adorn with gold color doilies, too!
Delightfully elegant in complimentary metals - stainless steel plates supported with assorted brass metal candlestick holders! A stand that's both decorative and functional! How cool is that!
Very cool indeed, Gail! As you said elegant and functional. On its own it's a very pretty piece of art and filled with goodies, totally practical! Love it!
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for your sweet comments, Kim! I had thought about adding treats to the plates but really didn't have any that looked inviting, lol!
DeleteWhat an awesome display Gail and amazing that it was all free! You have great imagination to tier it like that. It's a bit reminiscent of mid century modern now, which I love.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Sara! I looked around for tiered trays and didn't see anything interesting other than the stacked ones, which I didn't want to do, so I decided to stagger them. I need to look up mid-century modern - maybe I'll get some ideas for other crafts!
DeleteYou know free is my favorite word, Gail - What a find! I'm envisioning your stand for the holidays with greenery, red berries, fairy lights and sweet treats. Love it!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Ann! You've given me some great ideas on how to use the stand! But these are just a few of the free items I got! I even hauled away a rocking chair that needs a total makeover that I'll probably never get to.
DeleteWhat a clever way to use these dishes and candlesticks. They have a very 60's vibe to them don't they? This tiered stand will be perfect for displaying treats at parties, buffets etc.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Julie! Not sure what vibe it's giving off. I should remember the 60's! So many milestones for me! But then, I would be telling my age, lol!
DeleteI love this idea Gail! How perfect for any holiday, on a buffet or kitchen island. So functional too! This was a great idea. <3
ReplyDeleteI love the combo of the brass and the silver Gail! Your tiered stand turned out great. I can see so many uses for it. How awesome that it was all free. Can't get any thriftier than that!
ReplyDeleteFree is the BEST, especially when you make something so cool with it! Love the treat stand!
