Tips and Tricks for Dollar Tree Lazy Susan
Now that you’ve seen this Dollar Tree Lazy Susan, are you ready to make your own? Here are a few tips and tricks!
- Use Different Size Pans – For the turntable that I made, I used 8-inch cake pans. However, feel free to use different sizes of pans for different storage options. – The only thing to keep in mind is that if you use a bigger cake pan, you might need more marbles.
- Paint Your Cake Pans – To add some color, you can spray paint your cake pans! If you choose to go that route, make sure whatever you are storing won’t be affected by the paint. Keep this in mind when storing food.
- Use The Marbles You Can Find – For this project, I used regular round marbles. However, you can use flat back marbles as well. If you do you use flat back marbles, make sure the flat side is touching the bottom of your pan, and the round side is facing up.
- Make More Than One! – You will want to make more than one of these Dollar Tree Lazy Susan for your home. This is because they can be used in cabinets, refrigerators, bathrooms, craft rooms, offices, and so much more!
