Upgrade and decorate five dollar Target wire shelving

Hello everyone! I'm thrilled to share a recent project I worked on. We took a $5 wire shelving from Target and made a simple upgrade by decorating it. Additionally, we added a basic shelf using craft popsicle sticks.

Video tutorial




Materials needed


One wire shelving -I purchased this at Target for five dollars in the dollar spot.

Jumbo craft popsicle sticks- you will only need three
Craft gems
One round wooden circle
Hot glue
Paint


Decorations for your wire shelving
Faux succulents
Faux vines
Craft butterflies
One small  pot
One glass candle jar
One-operated candle




Begin by applying paint to the bottom wood board on your wire shelving.




Next, take your three craft popsicle sticks and apply your paint onto each stick.


Once you have applied your paint, take each stick and begin to add it to the wire openings.


Add a little hot glue to keep each craft stick in place.


You are now ready to add your faux vines. Take some hot glue and add each vine from the top section of your wire shelving.


Next, take your faux plants and begin to cut them to size. After cutting them to size, add them to your pot. 



Take any other plants, and add them to the top shelf. I used some hot glue and added a succulent flower on the top shelf I created, and I also added a flower on the bottom wood section as well.


Now, apply some paint onto your wood circle. For this, I am using a color called berry. 


Next, using glue, add your craft gems around your painted wood circle. 


Take your glass candle jar, and place your battery-operated candle inside your jar. Next, place your jar on top of your decorated wood circle, and place it on the inside bottom wood section.


Take your craft butterflies, and using glue, add them to your shelf. I just used a little hot glue and added my butterflies on the top, side, and front of my wire shelving. 


Your wire shelving is now complete. I love how easy it was to add that extra shelf, and decorating this was as simple as well. I had all of my materials on hand, and I just purchased the wire shelving. Such a simple and quick project. I hope you enjoyed it! Thank you so much for creating with me. I'll see you soon.

How I Styled 6 Fall Trays Using Simple Reused Decor

  This fall, I wanted to challenge myself to decorate with just a few simple items—things most of us already have tucked away in our craft bins. With one round tray, a Dollar Tree lantern, a battery‑operated LED candle, a handful of faux florals, and a mix of Dollar Tree pumpkins, I created six different autumn looks. Each one feels cozy, seasonal, and unique, all without buying a bunch of new décor. My goal was to show how versatile your everyday pieces can be. By swapping out colors, textures, and small accents, you can build fresh designs that fit your style and your space. Watch the video tutorial Decorating Each Tray My First Tray: Classic Lantern & Autumn Florals For my first tray, I began by placing a round tray on a woven placemat to create a cozy base. Next, I placed the black lantern in the center and added a small LED candle inside. I figured this would provide a soft autumn glow that I love. I took yellow faux florals and arranged them around the lantern to brighten...
