Two-Tiered Glass Serving Thingy ;)

[Momcrochets]

I needed a server for Thanksgiving...something for a cheeseball and crackers...Went to bed Sunday night with an idea playing in my head, based of ideas I'd seen online. Monday my errands made a trip into Dollar Tree, so I did a bit of extra looking. $3 and some "glass glue" later...

 

 

I have a new two-tiered server! (10" glass plate, glass candle-stick holder, 7" glass plate = $3...the glass glue I already had on hand (you can find it at hobby lobby by all the other glues) due to a repair I'd had to make on a candydish)

 

Isn't it fun?! They had a cute vintage-y shallow bowl there too, with a floral type of design on it, but no matching plates It would have made an adorable server! Oh well. the dish came home anyway lol

I totally paid like $10 for something exactly like that last year at Walmart. So wish I had used my creative brain like you!

I will keep using female viagra tabs. I am well into my 60s and your clomiphene gave me what I lost: long lasting erection and delights of youth. My order arrived within 5 days in good condition. I received my medicine in time and I think that this is a sign of responsibility and professionalism. cheap viagra jelly Thanks for such a good service and a great product.

I love thrifty crafts, and that's a great idea. Customized perfectly for your cheese ball and crackers. I wonder if you could even glue a shorter chandle holder to the larger bottom plate. This idea would probably work well with vintage china, too, mixing patterns.

This is excellent! You SAVED a ton of money on this item, too. Tiered serving trays are expensive!!!

Very cool!

Very pretty and creative!! I like the ones done in clear glass like yours. Nice thing about the clear glass, you can get a glass etching kit and really go all out! For almost nothing you can put your initials done in a pretty monogram, your name, or a fancy design on your serving piece! Of course it is pretty just the way it is!

 

Milk glass makes pretty combos too. A fun cake plate I recently saw was done with flower pots and the matching Terra cotta saucers. I thought it made a really cute cake plate for a garden party or picnic. There are quite a few running their course through Pinterest right now. FUN projects! Looks like an expensive specialty dish and only cost a few dollars! My kind of craft project!

 

This is the cake plate I was talking about made from flower pots: http://pinterest.com/pin/87398048988268771/ In fact, I just "repinned" this yesterday!

Then you can take the same concept to a much larger project and make this:

What a great idea!!

Thanks everyone!

I actually have one I did mixing two different plates and using a champagne glass of some sort (all thrift store relics)...but I like this one soo much better I also used an epoxy (the kind where you mix the two parts together before applying it to your "piece to be glued"). If I find enough milk glass that I like, I'd love to try one with that sometime. might need to be going to more thrift stores... And if I ever find a plate that co-ordinates nicely with the shallow bowl-dish I also picked up, I'll make that into a tiered server, as well! (It has inverted hearts with a rose-bud motif inside, with simplified fleur-de-lis between them...and all textured around the designs...)

 

I'm sure you could add another candle holder or something below the larger plate if you wanted to raise the whole thing...I think you'd want to make it wide-ish for good balance...maybe a bowl, inverted.

 

you know, I hadn't thought about etching it...that would be fun to try! (We have all the stuff, too)

Wow, it turned out reeeeeally professional-looking! This is a great server, Mom! I'm with Amanda and think it would be so fun with brightly colored cupcakes! Fabulous project!
