If you want to inexpensively add more storage to your kitchen or bathroom, these easy Dollar Tree 2-Tier Shelves are the perfect way to do it! The simply rustic farmhouse decor is so easy to make. And it costs just $4 for the entire shelving system!
I use these shelves for lightweight items that I want to display on a countertop. Guest towels and washcloths are the perfect things to display in these storage shelves.
This would also be great to store K-cups and coffee bar items!
Why not make some of these mini felt succulent pots to tuck into the shelves, too? They are super cute with a free pattern!
How to Make Rustic 2 Tier Shelves from the Dollar Tree
Supplies
- 2 Dollar Tree wooden rectangle boxes
- 2 Dollar Tree Metal Garden Hooks (S-Shape)
- Hot Glue Gun
- Apple Barrel Burnt Umber Acrylic Paint
- Paint Brush
- Cup and Some Water
Instructions
Step 1
Add a few drops of paint into some water in the cup. Mix thoroughly. This will create a light stain. You can go as dark or as light as you’d like. I’d suggest starting with 1/2 cup of water and 4-8 drops of paint and alter according to the color that you’d like.
Step 2
Paint both boxes with the stain mixture. Allow to dry thoroughly (about 20 minutes).
Step 3
Glue the boxes to the two S hooks. You will need to play around with the placement. Glue the small end of the S hook to the top box. Hot glue along the side of the box where the S hook will be, then press the hook into the glue carefully and apply pressure until it stays.
Now, apply glue on the bottom shelf where the larger curve of the S hook will be. Again, apply pressure carefully until it sticks. Repeat on the opposite side.
Allow to dry completely before putting any weight in the shelves.
