How to make your own tiered stand.

Hello there friends! Today's the first day of the week-long upcycled projects! First up is this pretty little tiered stand. :)

Feel free to post any questions in the comments section OR join the discussion over at Do more with less's Facebook Page [come 'like' my blog!]...I'll be waiting there with some crickets...*LOL*

 

Step1 : Pleat ribbon around the circumference of tart mold. I used glue dots - faster and less messy.

Step 2:  Cut out the base of a soda can. Cut around the circumference to create "petals".

Step 3: Add a piece of paper doiley and then the petaled soda can base.

Step 4: Add patterned paper and the faux birds. Dress it up further with some coloured beads.

I also added stickles to the birds so they really sparkle.

Step 5: Upcycle a ribbon holder for the “stand” between the tiers. [you need something sturdy] Glue patterned paper around it. Add some ribbon and pearls.

Step 6: For the bottom tier: Repeat pleated ribbon technique on bottom tier. Adhere patterned paper to base of mold. Apply crackle paint in rock candy for a sparkly crackle finish. Add coloured ribbon and pearls.

Step 7: Die-cut two birdcages with the soda can.

Adhere them with 3D dots so that the silver parts are showing on both front and back.

Step 8: Affix the birdcages to the mold.(I used glue dots and then glossy accents for reinforcement) Add some tulle (which covers up the adhesive marks). Assemble your tiered stand. I glued mine down with glossy accents.

I have been using my stand to house my fave little trinkets. What will you use yours for?
