1. Gather Your Supplies
Head to Dollar Tree and pick up a paper towel holder, two cooling racks, and mini clothespins.
2. Attach the Cooling Racks
Use crafting wire or zip ties to attach the two cooling racks to the paper towel holder.
Make sure they’re aligned properly and tightly secured.
Use pliers to twist and cut the wire.
3. Spray Paint Your Stand
Once the structure is secure, spray paint the entire stand. This gives it a cohesive and polished appearance. Let it dry completely before using it.
4. Add Your Clips and Display
Once dry, use the mini clothespins to clip your items onto the rack.
You can use this as a card display stand, a photo display, or even as a candy display stand for parties or snacks.

Could be useful for some items, but I wouldn't want it sitting where I could see it in the open! Treats? Looks like a gas station set up.
