Patriotic Tiered Tray
Use thrift store frames and candle holders to create a patriotic tiered serving tray for your 4th of July party.
I always look for oval frames or others with interesting shapes that thrift stores often have. The inexpensive prices make them hard to pass up. The large octagon were perfect for the base of the tiered tray.
I tested the positioning of the frames before taking them apart for painting.
I painted each frame and the two candle holders with Waverly Chalk Paint in Plaster. Once dried, I sprayed them all with a coat of Minwax Protective Finish.
I measured the fabric to fit each of the frames. After cutting it, I stapled the fabric to the cardboard backing of each frame.
I inserted the glass and then the fabric covered cardboard. For the large frame, I added an additional piece of cardboard to hold everything in place.
I used E6000 glue to adhere the candle holders to the bottoms of the two oval frames. Once that was set, I used more of the glue to adhere the candle holders to the tops of the large frame and the middle oval frame.
I’m happy with how this turned out and it's a fun way to serve some treats for our 4th of July Party.
