I have seen these a lot in specialty stores and boutiques. I can’t see myself paying $10-$20 for something I know I can make for around $2. I found most of the plates at my local thrift store or Ross, all of them cost between .49-$1.49. I found all the vases, candlesticks or glasses at my local thrift store for between .25-.99. Now I just had to put them together to make something I would love.
I applied the gorilla glue super glue to the rim of the candlestick or vase. Make sure you apply it to the highest points on the candlestick so the glue can come in contact with the other surface.
Turn the plate upside down, then attach the candlestick to bottom of the plate. This way worked best for me, so I could find the center of the plate. Hold down for 30 seconds, then it’s glued together.
I love how they turned out and no two are alike.
I also had some candlesticks that needed to be painted, so I decided to use Heirloom white and started spraying. This is what they looked like before.
And now this is what they look like. I love these plates and I love how the candlesticks turned out painted.
Here’s a top view of the plates. So pretty!
I can’t wait to use these dessert stands at the baby shower this Saturday. And I’m sure I’ll find more excuses to use them all the time.
