If you’re not addicted to cheap DIY crafting, you will be after making this Dollar Tree 3 Tier Tray.
I never even thought about it until I came across a cute craft on Pinterest and then I joined a Dollar Tree DIY group on Facebook and saw this..
This is not the first cheap craft on the blog, did you see my Dollar Tree Splatter Screen Pumpkin, the cutest thing ever.

Supplies – Dollar Tree 3 Tier Tray
- 1 Pizza Pan
- 1 Pie Pan
- 1 Cake Pan
- 2 Candle Sticks ( I used a rolling pin because I already had it and my DT’s were out of candle sticks at the time.
- Chalk Paint I already had on hand or you can leave them plain.
- Glue, I used Gorilla glue that I already hand on hand
- Decorations of choice, I will need to add more to this display (I will be changing mine out my season/holiday)
Gorilla Glue vs E6000
Is E6000 stronger than Gorilla Glue? According to our calculations, polyurethane Gorilla adhesive is a bit stronger, than E6000.
Epoxy glue that belongs to Gorilla adhesives range, is even more durable.
Glue options: You can use hot glue, E6000, gorilla glue or any other that you might have on hand.
I actually prefer to use E6000 for most of my crafts.
I have many types of glue in my craft room but for this diy, I preferred to use gorilla glue at this time because it’s quick drying just like hot glue but didn’t want the messiness of hot glue at the time.

Printable instructions at the bottom of this post.

I just cut the rolling pin in half and painted them with Waverly Chalk paint, this type of chalk paint is my favorite and the most affordable that I have found.

My favorite chalk paint to use when doing my crafts is the brand Waverly, can be picked up pretty cheap at Walmart.

After I painted each side of the pans and let them dry, I used a small piece of sand paper to give it the distressed look, which I love.

I made another one without painting it to use on my coffee bar (pic below).
The cup on top is a little metal cup that is holding little sugar packs.
Also, I didn’t use a pizza pan on the one below, I used 2 pie pans and 1 cake pan.
My coffee bar is in a small space and the pizza pan was to big to fit along side the coffee maker.

If you can find bread pans of different sizes, it would make a unique 3 tier decor and would fit in a smaller space like your coffee bar. I'm going on a quest for those to sit by my Kuerig with a few favorite pods and creamer packets and maybe a handful of stirs.
Also you can substitute a dowel rod and a larger drawer or door knob on the top for the handle.

I cannot find the candle sticks anywhere either so I love the rolling pin idea. Also thinking of looking at Lowe’s or Home Depot for ideas. Did you cut the rolling pin in different lengths?

Yea, the candle sticks are hard to find as they sell out fast for some reason. I like the rolling pin better anyways too. I cut the rolling pin evenly but you can make each piece different lengths if yo want.

Yes, thank you, I thought the same thing. I tried finding rolling pins at DT but guess they are always sold out, I'd rather use them instead of the candle holders.
