HALLOWEEN ON A TIERED TRAY
Hi Everyone! I am excited to get a head start on Halloween by joining my friend Carol at BlueSky at Home and a few popular bloggers for Halloween fun! I had fun with this Halloween-tiered tray.
If you are stopping by from Mary Jo’s blog Masterpieces of My Life …. welcome to Everyday Edits.
TIERED TRAY
I love a tiered tray because it adds vertical decor versus a centerpiece that spreads across the dining room table.
A multilevel tray draws the eye up without taking up a huge footprint on the table.
Decorating can be compared to decorating your first apartment. The best trays are filled with something old, new, and repurposed. I prefer to find orange and black objects to fill my tiered tray. My tray is a combination of repurposed jars and black and orange items.
I love the idea of a stacked tray resembling a penthouse with orange and black Halloween-themed tiered tray bundles like these.
SHOP MY HOUSE
I love the look of the Etsy tiered tray bundles. They are Instagram-worthy. But I think it is more fun to scrounge through my cabinets and drawers for orange and black theme items. I store my holiday “bundles” in clear bins (with lids) so I can mix and match colors of random bitty bundle finds.
SPRAY PAINT
Over the years I have purchased a rainbow of Rustoleum paint. Spray paint is a fun medium to use on glass jars. I have shared fun repurposed projects like this one and this one on the blog.
CLEARANCE
I am not very crafty but occasionally I like to take a quick run around Michaels or Hobby Lobby. And of course, there is always a dollar store. I found this Halloween-inspired bundle on Amazon.
Here is a combination of the above ideas for my Halloween-tiered tray. I have a little black book (literally) that I add to my tiered tray.
TIPS
Don’t be afraid to stuff the tray with goodies! A tiered tray is a great way to create a treasure hunt of black and orange (and bright green and purple) minis to add to your tray.
STOCK PAPER
I love to buy a few sheets of printed card stock with a holiday or seasonal pattern.
Look what I did with a few empty paint cans on the front porch. I did something similar with orange votive candles in clearance at Homegoods last year.
I added black and white theme bowls to the tray! The coffee mugs against the mini trees are a fun contrast to break up the color patterns. What do you think?
Tiered trays are limited only by your imagination. I love a stuffed tray filled with little bitty bundles and random items from your house! The best finds are the unexpected ones.
Please pin for others to find on Pinterest.

Laura, your tiered tray is perfect for displaying some cute Halloween decor. I love what you did with the paint cans – a great recycling project. Your Boo! bowl is a sweet addition. Thanks for sharing at Celebrate the holiday.
