It's funny how you can own a piece of home decor for a while before you have an epiphany about it. That's what happened with me and two different Dollar Tree wood bead trays. Initially they were just that -- two wood bead trays. But eventually I saw their potential as something more.
It's been a while since I created a farmhouse DIY. This one is super simple so let's get started!
Wood bead trays and risers have been a farmhouse decor staple for quite some time now. You can see my square wood bead riser made from Dollar Tree supplies that I shared in DIY Distressed Wooden Riser With Beaded Trim.

I also created a Round Wood Riser from scratch, also using Dollar Tree supplies.
As a fan of rustic trays I was thrilled to find these round stained wood bead trays at Dollar Tree some time last year.
Then on another trip to Dollar Tree I found these oval stained wood bead trays.
I used them both to display various home decor items, like this beautiful transferware teapot displayed on the oval beaded tray.
I also used the round beaded trays to create an Ornate Plate Pedestal Riser (without permanently attaching them to the pedestals).
Then one day while looking through my crafting stash I came across a bag of wooden "mini flower pots" from Dollar Tree. I used these "pots" as feet for my DIY round riser . . . . so why not use them to create feet for my latest wood bead trays?
I was going to stain the mini flower pots like I painted them for the Round Wood Riser as seen above.
Then I realized that I actually liked the contrast between the unstained mini flower pot feet and the darkly stained wood bead trays. So I glued the mini flower pots onto the bottom of the trays with clear E6000 glue. I glued four mini garden pot "feet" onto the oval trays and three "feet" onto the round trays.
And I couldn't have been happier with the result.
I think adding the feet elevated the overall look of the wood bead tray.
Staged together on the dining room table they create a cohesive look for my chinoiserie display.
The wood trays definitely add texture to the vignette, along with the neutral, rustic table runner. The beautiful gold candle holder was shared in Elegant Gold Leaf-Embellished Candle Holders.
I am certainly not lacking in farmhouse wood bead trays now! But that's ok, because I'll always have plenty of treasures to display on them!

Love it. Love the wood with the chippy white together. Have a great week. Stay cool. I think we have been living in the tropics this week. Hugs. Kris
