At the beginning of 20 second videoLarissa (@meiralaryssa) took viewers to her local Dollar Tree, where she bought several mixing bowls in different colors for $1.25.
Next, she stacked the four shells on top of each other and attached them with E-6000 glue, available for $3.14 from Amazon.
To create the illusion of a connected piece, she sprayed all sealed shells in a matte black shade.
The second half of the quick DIY consists of serving plates, also purchased from Dollar Tree.
Meira covered them with a primer spray paint before applying a second coat of marble effect paint for a chic look.
Finally, she glued the serving plates to the stacked bowls and placed them in a living space where they could be admired.
Commenters were impressed with how stylish the tables looked.
One person said: “WOW! That looked great!”
“SO CUTE, when I get my first apartment I’m going to do some crafts, thanks for the idea,” said another.
“I made 2 of these! I love her!! Ty!!”
In the comments, Meira said the color of the finished end tables came courtesy of Montana Can’s Marble Effect Spray Paint ($13.94). Amazon.
She said: “They are a bit pricey compared to regular spray but I’ve had mine for over a year and use it often and I still have loads of it!!!”
She also optionally finished the tables with Rust Oleum Clear Gloss for $16.14 Amazon.
This isn’t the first time the interior design pro has used Dollar Tree for projects at home.
She recently made a candle decoration using clear glass bowls and stone effect spray paint.
