Where Do I Start?
- Ok, first things first, you need to find a tiered tray. There are dozens and dozens of styles to choose from, so decide if you like, rustic, farmhouse, modern? I have found a number of my trays at Hobby Lobby, they have a great selection and many times you can find a 50% off coupon. Amazon also has affordable tiers. Search tiered trays and you’ll see plenty that come up. I got a really cute one at Target too in the Chip and Joanna Gaines Home section.
- Second, decide what theme you are going for. My favorite is to decorate my tiers for the Holidays. The ones you will see today are some that I’ve done for Halloween and Thanksgiving. I’ll be adding more Holidays as they come so check back!
Where Do I Purchase Items For My Tiered Tray?
There are MANY places to look for fun decorative pieces for your tiered tray. This will also depend what kind of theme you want to create for you tray. Below are my favorite places to shop for my displays.
- Hobby Lobby is great for everything seasonal. All of the tiers I have made, I’ve found awesome seasonal pieces at Hobby Lobby. This is also where you will get any plant stems/floral pieces to arrange on your tray. Watch for their 50% off coupons. They also have sales going during the Holiday months.
- Target has AMAZING pieces for your tray as well. Check the home section, seasonal section and most importantly the dollar section. I’ve found a number of pieces to use in the Target dollar/$3 section. Keep your eyes open for lots of fun things
- T.J. Maxx/Home Goods/Marshalls/Ross all really great places to collect affordable pieces for your tiered tray. This is where I get all of my Rae Dunn mugs/ceramic pieces. Lots of great plants and greenery to be found at these stores.
- Michaels also has really fun seasonal pieces, plant stems/florals. Watch for Michaels 40% off coupons as well.
How To Assemble Your Tiered Tray Display
When you’ve purchased your tiered tray, chosen a theme and collected pieces for your display it’s time to assemble! I’ve found that it’s easiest to set out ALL of your pieces so you can see everything you are working with. You might not end up using everything you’ve collected, don’t worry. You can either take back the pieces, create another tier or display them in other areas of your home. Trust me, I’ve been doing this for weeks, ha! You might even be short some things, no worries, this is a process that will take a little bit of work as you go!
Start With Your Largest Pieces
When you are ready to get started, don’t get overwhelmed. Start with your largest pieces that will go towards the back. You’ll see I started with my two large pieces that I put towards the back of my tier first.
Next, start arranging your smaller pieces. Play around with them. Move pieces around until you get the look you like!
Add some plant stems to the outer edges if you’d like. This gives a nice completed look once finished.
Fill in with candy and other favorite things! See how easy that was?!

3 Tier Tray, Halloween Disney Style
Here’s another display I did with a 3 tier that I found from Hobby Lobby. I used my same method for designing it. Started with the largest pieces and filled in from there. Found all of the cute plant stems and little Fall flower balls from Hobby Lobby as well. The Vampire Mickey on top is from a Pumpkin Push set that typically gets pushed into pumpkins. I thought he worked great on my fake plant.

A closer look at my middle and bottom section. The mugs and little cat succulent were found at Walgreens in their Halloween Section. Orange pretzel rods found at Target in the Halloween Candy section.
Where Do You Display Your Tiered Trays?
You can display your tiered trays anywhere you like, but I really enjoy them in my kitchen area since that’s where I spend so much time. I have one on my table as shown in the photo above and I also have one on my kitchen island.
