And by "edition", I mean, this project only costs $5, and maybe I'll post more $5 projects at some point. ;]
My most recent project was this easy-peasy three tiered dessert stand:
Supplies for this project are:
Two glass candle sticks (I found mine at the Dollar Tree)
Three glass plates of different sizes ($.99 each at thrift store)
Glass glue (I used E6000 because I already had it from prior crafts)
Make sure you clean your plates and candle sticks well before you start because 1. whatever is on there will be on there forever once they're glued and 2. dust/dirt affects adhesion.
I started by spreading the glue with a toothpick on both the plate and the edge of the candlestick, and gluing the two candle sticks to the tops of of two bigger plates.
I initially tried using a compass and paper and tracing and finding centers and such... but then I just decided to eyeball it. =]
Glue them wide side up so that you have more usable surface area on your stand.
Let dry fully. (Dry time varies by glue.)
Glue them in succession of largest to smallest, allow to dry again, and then serve dessert on your beautiful new tiered dessert stand!
Love this craft- especially since I like to have treats, craft supplies, or jewelry out where I can see it all. I'll be on the lookout for small glass plates, tea cups, and short candlesticks now!
