Just a forewarning, you just may get this project done in 15 minutes or less so don’t be alarmed when you have the whole day to stare at your masterpiece and you don’t know what else to do with yourself. Ok, here goes. Get your plates and candle holders out and glue them together. Well, that’s about it. Seriously guys, this was probably the fastest project that I’ve ever done!
I started off with this gorgeous milk glass. Any dishes and candle holders would work. I was actually going to use vintage plates but I’m so glad that I thought about using some of my milk glass. I love the crisp and chunky feel of the white goodness! I used this super glue and went to town. Well, not literally…but I do need groceries. Anyways, I squeezed a small amount of the glue around the edge of the candle holder and placed it in the center of the plate. Just make sure if you have to move it around and make it centered, that you do it right away because this stuff sticks like mad and sticks fast too!
I flipped the plate upside down and made sure I was in the center and whola…popped that candle holder right in the middle. I waited about 30 seconds and then flipped it over and it was completely dry within minutes, I’m talking like 15 minutes or less. Can you tell how excited I am about how fast this project went?
I love how they turned out and would love to hear what you think too, in the comments below. I just want to keep making them but I guess I’m not sure where I would put them all. Maybe a cake stand shelving display right there in the back on all of those shelves? Hmmmmm, I wonder if Dollar Tree would have some great items to use for this project.
I’m pretty sure that I found the perfect spot right back here on my patio. My oldest two kids don’t eat sugar anymore but I’m guessing that my youngest would be super happy if they were all filled with cupcakes.
Thanks for stopping by friends! I would love to see your cake stands if you make some! Tag me on Instagram in the write up and the stories (so I don’t miss it) if you post some so that I can share some on my stories. Have a wonderful day my friends.

Everything is gorgeous on the table!! I too LOVE milk glass! After looking at your table, I do have a question. Did you make your shiplap chargers/placemats? If so, do you have a tutorial? Been looking to buy some but they really are expensive. You are so talented and GREAT….your creations are adorable and inexpensive! Have a great weekend!

Almost packed… would love to live on your back porch for awhile… and leave snowy NJ. I’ve been a silent lurker for sometime… but I adore you and your house and your wonderful do-it-yourselfs, so … I had to finally comment! You make me laugh and give me inspiration. Thanks, sweet girl! ????
