Confession time – Coley and I used to be Goodwill addicts. We would go Goodwill together almost every week, and then sometimes even run into each other when we hadn’t planned it! Of course that was back in the day when we had two kids between us. Now that there are 5 and a third kiddos in the picture, life is a little different. But even though my ability to get to the GW Club (that’s what the cool people call it) has decreased, my love of thrifting has not. I still turn to the Goodwill for supplies for lots of projects, and this one is no different. I saw this multi tiered galvanized tray on pinterest, and the wheels started turning. I needed something to display an item at the market, but I was not about to drop $70 bucks on it, no matter how cute it is. At the next 50% off Saturday at the GW Club, I checked out the housewares aisles to see if anything struck me, and I found these.I bought these cake pans for between $1 and $1.50 each and the candlesticks were less than a buck each. After some rummaging around in the garage, I found this stuff Since there’s a picture of a happy lady crafting something on it I figured it would work. You have to mix the two tubes together, but man, it’s solid as a rock when it drys! Just mix and apply. i put a rock on top of each candlestick to press it together, but I don’t think it was necessary.
Originally, I had hoped to keep the cake pans their original color so it was like the inspiration piece, but they were such different tones, I settled for an antique white spray paint. I popped for the expensive spray paint this time, too. There’s no going back, let me tell ya. Love that stuff. Anyway, I also opted to not glue the trays on top of each other because I figure I can just use command strips to stick them together if I want to. That way I can use them separately or stacked. I think it’s going to work out great for the market, and I can use them for Easter display too!
Have you done any fun GW Club projectS lately? Maybe I’ll see you there sometime!
