----------
All you'll need:
- 1 large melamine platter (mine was $10 at Target)
- 1 medium melamine plate (mine was $2 at Target)
- 1 small melamine plate or bowl (mine was $2 at Target)
- 2 glass candlesticks ($1 each at the dollar store)
- E6000 -- NOT superglue!
I saw some very pretty (but breakable) plates and bowls at the dollar store, so this could potentially be a very inexpensive project! But I opted for the melamine dishes because they are not easily breakable.
As you experiment with different dishes, you may need to/be able to use different adhesives. For my purposes, E6000 worked in adhering the glass to the melamine. Superglue will NOT work!
Step 1:
Wash all of the dishes and candlesticks, and dry them well.
Step 2:
Because with E6000 you put the adhesive on BOTH surfaces before sticking them together, I didn't feel comfortable with "eyeballing." I just grabbed a ballpoint pen and traced the candlesticks onto each surface. Make sure you trace the correct end of the candlestick, if it's not symmetrical top-to-bottom!
Step 3:
Apply E6000 to each surface, following the directions on the package. From memory, I believe that means you will wait 1-2 minutes before sticking the two together.
Step 4:
Continue building until your treat stand is complete. :)
And voila, you're done! Now simply fill with delicious treats. :)
