Hello Friends,
I hope where ever you are you are staying dry. Today it's a nice rainy day {my favorite} it means I do not LEAVE the house. So this week and last week are crazy weeks. CHA starts Sunday but I am helping Epiphany Crafts set up there booth and help a bit in the booth during CHA. I hope you stop by and say HI..I am also planning on updating the blog ALLOT while I am at CHA, and asking for suggestions over on our FB Fan Page. So be sure to "like" us over there so you can keep up with the PDW happenings at CHA. In case you do not know what CHA is it is the BIG Craft and Hobby show. I LOVE it, I get to see old friends and look and order all the new stuff. So for today I wanted to show you a little DIY candy dish. I have our PDW LOVE crop right around the corner and I always love displaying stuff in a cute manner and I LOVE anything that is tiered. When I went out shopping for all the crop stuff there really wasn't a ton of valentines stuff out there. So I decided to make my own displays. Everything is from the Dollar Tree except the adhesive. So here you go....
Gather supplies. I got 2 heart candy dishes a few candle stick holders and a red plate.
Turn your plate over and using a sharpie mark in the center where you are going to adhere your candlestick.
Apply the glue to your out line..
Now attach your candlestick pressing it firmly into the glue. You want to hold it for about a minute and depending wher eyou live will determine your trying time.
Repeat the process with the heart candy dish. Turn upside and adhere the candle stick. Let dry..
Once the bases are dry adhere the heart dish to the center of the right side of the plate to create a tier. Mark the center and apply the glue and adhere..I also went a step further and added some trim to my plate.
I LOVE this...you can also use the cute plastic plates or just about anything...try different bases I would love to see what you come up with...Be sure if you make a candy display {or you could put cookies on it} share the link with me in our comment sections...
Happy Creating...
This turned out so cute, Michelle!
