Tips to Make Farmhouse Teired Trays

  • If you’re going to make your own DIY Rae Dunn pieces like this farmhouse stand, I like to use a white chalk paint like this one. It’s my favorite. It’s got great coverage and leaves this awesome textured finish that is perfect for adding vinyl lettering or painted letters.
  • I love using my Cricut to add lettering to other Rae Dunn crafts, but, frankly, I felt like adding lettering to this particular farmhouse stand would be, well, silly. So, I don’t have a handy cut file for you with this project.
  • To make this project, I recommend using E6000. Hot glue is nice, but the wood seems to really soak it up sometimes. So, grabbing some E6000 seemed smart. You can even use hot glue and E6000 at the same time, side by side if you want.
  • Check out the thrift store and dollar store for supplies for this project and other Rae Dunn crafts. I mean, I know that it sounds silly because real Rae Dunn pieces are rarely there–but if you’re DIYing, you can absolutely use supplies you get cheaply. Plus, repurposing is always more fun than finding a pre-made piece, in my book!

  1. Does the spindle come attached to the bottom flat round piece? Or is that another piece of wood that needs to be added? I love this idea! Small tables are so handy to have :)

    1. Karen, I think it depends on where you are. I’ve seen the pieces together and separate. If they are separate, you can use wood glue to combine them.
