Lately, I’ve had tiered trays on the brain. Here is some inspiration on how to Create Your Own Tiered Tray.
Create Your Own Tiered Tray
I adore their versatility. You can use them year around in various rooms.
There are some really beautiful trays available at highly beautiful prices.
So I decided I am going to make my own. Luckily, a few other people have had this same great idea so I thought I would share a few of their brilliant concepts.
Just click on the picture to view the original source.
This stand was created with old cake pans.
While this tray is actually for sale you could recreate your own by once again using old cake pans and painted terra cotta pots.
Enamel bowls and plates always look cute in a kitchen.
Love! I have the old rolling pin… I just need a few old pie plates.
How pretty would a silver tiered tray be in the bathroom with wee soaps piled high on the top?
This tiered tray made me smile. Favorite cars, blocks or tiny toys could be showcased in a kids room. You’d just need to get over the bit of hacksawing a dinosaurs head off. (smile 🙂
Are you ready for this? Spray painted Dollar Store burner covers. Brilliant!
(The blog itself is no longer in existence but it would be easy to recreate.)
I really want to create this for my sewing and craft room.
I scoured eBay and Etsy for vintage Tri-Chem tins. $$$ I think I’ll try my luck at the thrift shops.
We still have some old fencing left. This just might be Mr. Decor’s next woodworking project.
This tiered tray is also cute and all of the supplies can be found at the local hardware store.
I need this wood slice tiered tray AND some strawberry shortcake!
If you decide to make your own tray make sure you let me know.

Fabulous ideas you've gathered, Laura. I can't wait to see what you make. 🙂
Great ideas! You've inspired me to make some of these!
Oh my word, they are all wonderful.
Great ideas! Yes, so many are expensive.
What fun and pretty ideas!
I adore tiered trays.
That wood slice one is catching my eye. I think it might be a good project for my brother-in-law! 🙂
Oh how fun are these. Now my wheels are turning.
These are all so cute, Laura! I've been wanting to make one (or five) of these, too. Can't wait to see what you come up with.
Hugs,

I have made single tiered trays using plates and candlesticks. I sometimes even put knobs on top but I've never layered the tiers! I don't know why but now you've inspired me to make a little skyscraper.;-)
I've been wanting to make one of these and you have inspired me to get it done. Thank you!
Cute trays! I think I've seen some of those tins in Canton for around $6. Just FYI if you ever go. Maybe I'll make one for my art studio when it's done.
Love these ideas, especially for those of us with limited storage space. The silver tray/candlestick example is making me swoon. 🙂

Thank you for sharing so many clever ideas!It is amazing how much better a display looks with the different heights – especially food.
I got some great ideas from your post. Using things in my workshop, I can see more components that would work. But, I don't really understand how they go together. Does one drill a hole through all the parts and then use a threaded rod?
Fox and Finch: Thank you for your kind comments regarding the tiered tray post. Most of the images (with the exception of the first two I think) have fairly good “how to” instructions. They all vary just a bit. If you click on each photo in the post it will take you directly to the individual creators DIY post. (I’m big on giving credit where it’s due and not sending readers on a wild goose chase. 🙂 I’m sure you’ll find the perfect tray construction for you. Happy day!
How neat- there are so many good ideas here! I liked that one made from the burner covers. I wanted to buy one a couple of years ago and just couldn't stomach the prices of the ones I liked. Love all this good inspiration you've provided!
Such cool creativity. Love it!
Love all the tiered stand ideas.
Thanks for all the ideas. I'm inspired.
This is one of those posts, where I say, “Why didn't I think of that!!??
Hi Laura, love these ideas for tiered trays. All are so unique and interesting. This is a great post and thank you for sharing.
Have a great rest of the week my friend. xo
What a great collection of tiered servers! The last is my favorite. I surely could use a piece of that strawberry short cake!
I LOVE the last one, such a beautiful collection! Thanks for sharing!
Lovely inspiration. I like the idea of using old baking molds.
