Here's a preview of my November column for The Satellite I figured that with the holidays coming up, it would be nice to do a project that related to entertaining.
I created three tiered stands from an assortment of glassware purchased at a thrift store. I think I paid less than ten bucks for all of the pieces you see here, plus a few I didn't use. The contact adhesive cost maybe four bucks.
- Start with a glass pie dish and glue on a champagne glass (the short and wide kind, not a flute) using a strong contact adhesive. I used one called "Welder." Remember that contact adhesives need to be applied to both surfaces and allowed to dry briefly before the two parts are joined.
- Keep attaching plates and champage glasses until the tray is the height you want. That's all there is to it!

These are beautiful! Thanks so much for leaving a comment so I could check them out. I have a whole slew of glass dishes to play with - it's so fun seeing what you can come up with!
I bet the chocolates and the biscuits cost more than the materials! well done. My concern is how do you wash the damn thing?

Hi Liz -- Indeed, the treats did cost more than the supplies! I think I paid less than $5 for the glassware and then used some contact adhesive I had on hand.
It won't fit in the dishwasher, but you could hand wash it in the sink.
