This is another thrift store project. When I browse, I love looking at all the mis-matched dishes, and I usually fall in love with the beautiful prints and patterns. I can never justify buying them to eat on (we have so many dinner plates), but I found a project that allows me to showcase a couple beauties!
Also while thrift shopping, I usually see candle holders – another good, random item for this project! I recently found a couple gold candle holders, and found matchy, gold-accented plates to pair with them for this project. Ooh, also needed: E6000 glue.
This is a simple project. To start, I cleaned each piece to ensure the glue would stick correctly. I glued the large plate on top of the ‘base’ candle holder. Then, I glued the second candle holder to the bottom of the smaller plate. Centering is key, I just eyeballed it!
After those pieces dry, finishing up this project is as simple as gluing the two together!
There you have it, another quick naptime project. Display cupcakes, snacks, candies, etc, the possibilities are endless!
I had actually made a couple other versions that I will use for Tryson’s 1st birthday party in May:
I love how the result is somewhat shabby-chic!
Have fun,
