Welcome back to our Creative Craft hop, I wanted to thank Donna, Modern on Monticello for hosting this fun blog hop! There are 8 of us crafters this month to share step by step creative crafts with you, at the bottom of my page, I will share each participant’s link to their craft.
To view all of my creative crafts you can view it here CREATIVE CRAFT.
This isn’t going to be a quick project, but it is worth the time creating. I removed all the bugs and gave you an easier way to create this craft.
Dollar Tree Basket Stand Tutorial
Items needed:
- 2 cake pans (same size)
- 3 wire coat hangers
- 2 Dollar Tree hula skirts
- hot glue (lots of it)
- paint of your choice
- drill and drill bit
- wire cutters
Prepare the 3 coat hangers
- Cut the hook off the hanger
- Straighten the wire
- Bend the wire into a pin shape
Prepare the supplies:
First pan:
- Measure out two marks 2 inches apart
- From one mark measure out 6 inches, mark and measure out from there 2 inches. Make 3 sets of dots.
- Using a drill bit the size of your coat hanger wire and Drill holes to every mark.
Second pan:
- Do the same as above but measure out 1 ½ inch marks and distance between the sets of marks 6 ¼ inches.
Remove the grass from the skirt’s waist band:
- Cut one end of the twine from the skirt and slide off the grass. It will come apart with ease.
Paint the pieces
- Spray paint the 3 pins and 2 pans with the color of your choice. I am using Krylon Satin Khaki.
Assemble the stand
- Slip the pins into the drilled holes in the pan with the 3 sets of 2 inch drilled holes.
- Measure the top of the pin to the lip of the pan 2 inches. To keep the pin from moving add drops of hot glue to top and bottom of the drill holes.
- Wrap the grass around the loop of the pin, starting at one side gluing as you wrap to the other side. Do this to all three pins.
- Wrap halfway down each pin under the pan.
- Add the second pan to the pins. Measure from the bottom of the top pan to the top of the second pan 7 ¼ inches. Add a dab of hot glue to keep the pan in position.
- Finish wrapping the middle part of the pin with grass.
- Turn the tray upside down, measure up 15 ½ inches to the end of the pin, snip if longer.
- Pinch the end of the pin together and add hot glue, hold until glue is cold. Wrap around the glue to make a padded foot, continue to wrap the bottom pins.
- Add a dab of glue to the center of the pan (to each pan, top and bottom).
- Take one strand of grass and fold in half, add the two ends to the glue and start twisting the two strands and roll the twisted strands in a circle. Keep adding strands until you cover the entire pan.
- Remove the hot glue webs by using a heat gun or blow dryer.
Paint your stand
- Paint the basket stand in the color of your choice. I went with a faux basket color, using cashew, hazelnut and burnt umber.
I know it was a lot of wrapping, but the outcome was worth it.

Super looking, I’d not ever thought about using raffia to cover wire and such. I’ve always used hemp twine or jute rope for wrapping and covering, I really love this project.
