The holidays are quickly approaching and I don’t know about you, but I have been planning out my DIY Holiday Gift Ideas since October. I know that may seem a little early, but if you have several DIY gifts you need to make, you MUST start early. One of the gifts I plan to give are these adorable $5 Dollar Tree Dessert Displays I created. These dessert displays are absolutely beautiful and so afforable. This is also a great idea for a wedding candy table or dessert table. So let’s get started. For video instructions, please check out the video tutorial below!

How To: $5 Dollar Tree DIY Dessert Display Holiday Gift Ideas
Directions:
STEP 1: To create your first and second dessert displays, flip your martiniti glass over. Apply E6000 and then place your glass salad plate on top. Allow it to dry for about 2 hours. Then place your roman urn candleholder on top.
Create Three of Your Lid Toppers
STEP 2: First Lid Topper: Take your wooden disc from your assorted wood shapes package and hot glue one of your wood candle cups to the top. Paint it with silver paint. While your paint is still dry, sprinkle silver glitter to your paint.
Second Lid Topper: Next hot glue your doll wood stand first and then your wood shaker peg to the top of a wooden disc. Paint it with gold paint. While your paint is still dry, sprinkle gold glitter to your paint.
Third Lid Topper: Hot glue your doll wood stand and then your birch wood finials to the top of your wooden disc. Paint your third lid topper with red acrylic paint. While your paint is still dry, sprinkle red glitter to your paint.
Create Your Third Gift Display
STEP 3: To create your third gift display, paint your glass plate candleholder and your glass taper candleholder with red acrylic paint. Next sprinkle on your red glitter like you did in Step 3.
Also complete your fourth wooden topper by painting your wooden disc with acrylic red paint and then sprinkle it with glitter. Lastly, hot glue your Christmas Tree topper to your wooden disc.
TIP: Be sure to paint and sprinkle your glitter on in sections. This is so your paint does not dry prior to applying your glitter as your glitter should be applied while your paint is still wet.
Create Your Fourth Gift Display
STEP 4: For your fourth gift display, paint your glass plate candleholder and your glass taper candleholder with gold acrylic paint. Next sprinkle on your gold glitter like you did in Step 3.
TIP: Be sure to paint and sprinkle your glitter on in sections. This is so your paint does not dry prior to applying your glitter as your glitter should be applied while your paint is still wet.
THE FINAL STEP
STEP 5: Place a 4-6 inch Doily and then the dessert of your choice on each dessert display stand. Next, cover each dessert with a roman urn glass candlerholder. Lastly, place your lid toppers on each of your displays. You can secure your lid topper with E6000 adhesive.
