My First Tiered Tray

I am beyond thrilled with my spooky, Halloween tiered tray display! Want to see how I made it? You're in luck because I have step by step tutorials for each part of my tray.

First things first, I got all of these adorable wood cutouts from the Wholly Rustic Tiered Tray Decor Club. My friend Rebecca sends out a different set each month with all the supplies you need to paint your own unique pieces. The fun part is, it's a surprise each month. If you don't like surprises, she has additional tiered tray sets for sale at Wholly Rustic.

Here is a the video tutorial of how I painted my pieces. Of course, you can choose any colors you like for a project like this one!

This wood pumpkin was actually a find in the Target dollar section. It came with some other pieces as well. I decided to change the original colors to a more traditional orange pumpkin.

Here's a video on how to paint the perfect pumpkin:

The mini bead garland was quick and easy to put together. If you dread painting individual beads, I have an awesome painting hack that you can use to speed up the process.

Finally, I needed some filler. One of my creative friends had the best idea! I made several of these fluffy little creatures with googly eyes to fill out my display. This is a perfect project for your kiddos to complete to help you with your Halloween decor. That is, if you can keep them on the tray! My kids love to give names & personalities to these poof-balls and they keep turning up in different locations all over the house!

The final touch was some spider webbing and voila! My first tiered tray!
