The Tiered Tray Trend, On a Budget!

I love all things decor, especially seasonal decor! I just love how cozy and welcoming a nicely decorated home feels. You don't even have to spend a ton to add a sweet seasonal touch. lately I've been seeing  a lot of seasonal tiered trays. If you type in #tieredtray on instagram or search for them on Pinterest thousands come up. This leaves me with such great inspiration for my own tiered tray. Don't worry we'll stick to the budget theme, so here's how to get the adorable tiered tray on a budget. First you need a tiered tray, you can either make your own (check out Pinterest) or purchase. If you purchase be sure to search for the deals. This is a top trend so tiered trays are getting expensive, but not everywhere. This fall the target dollar spot released cute and inexpensive 2 tiered trays for under $5! I found mine at hobby lobby and used their 40% off coupon from their website, you can also find it on their Facebook. If your budget is even tighter, utilize garage sales and thrift stores. I even saw an adorable 3 tiered tray on the Facebook marketplace for CHEAP! After to find your tray the fun starts, filling it!You wouldn't believe where I have found the cutest trinkets for my tray, yes even seasonal trinkets. I found some great ceramic halloween figures at the drug store of all places, and the best part, half way through fall they were only $2.50 ea! Also Hobby lobby, if you catch the sales right or use the coupon  you can find some fantastic tiny trinkets. I usually find them on the individual tiered table displays they have, on occasion I might find smaller pieces down an aisle. The target dollar spot is also an awesome find for inexpensive tray trinkets, and filler. There are many adorable finds at dollar stores and biglots too. Additionally do not forget about Homegoods, Marshalls, and Ross, many many good finds there. I found a cute pumpkin mini sign at Homegoods for $3.99! Don't worry if you can't afford to fill out your tray all in one season, my husband and I make it a tradition to pick out one new item a year to add. You can fill in the gaps with leafs, pinecones, sticks, pompoms, cloth napkins,  beads, a strand of mini lights, etc. and Lastly don't forget to use what you already have around the house. I see many tiered trays with a cute coffee mug, candles, decorative salt shakers, mini plates, even food (think coco packets, and candy canes). You could even wrap a nice scarf around your tray. I found some pretty inexpensive decor and filler at Tuesday Morning as well, like a bag of faux pears and silk plants, even scented pinecones. You just have to get creative, but it is possible! Here's my first attempt;
