DIY Cake Stand Inspired Organizer

By Savvybrown @savvybrownblog

I was totally influenced by the images below and how they up-cycled cake, cupcake stands and trays to use as cosmetic organizers. But then I realized something…

I don’t have a cake stand.

So 2 trips to the dollar store later, I came up with my own. (I decided to use the image on the left of my inspiration board as my guide).

All of the supplies cost me less than $10.00. However, next time I think I’ll use Clear Liquid Nails Adhesive for this project, because the type I used dried white. (If anyone knows of any well bonding eco-friendly craft glue, please let me know.) I also used up-cycled tea tins to hold my hair pins, makeup and Tarte cosmetics. I would use a food-grade adhesive if I was going to make this and use it with food.
