Simple {sweet-treat} platters

Ok so my fiance Sean and I are currently planning a wedding.... but we also just bought a house... needless to say, money is non-existent. I really wanted to get tiered platters for cupcakes and treats for the dessert table at our wedding. They are quite pricey to buy brand new... so I decided to go a different way... 

The plates I bought from the thrift store....the 2 on the left were $0.79 cents {smaller one} and $1.49 {bigger one}  and the oval plate was $1.99. 

The base of the oval plate was a decorative candle holder for $0.50 and the middle of the two-tiered was a mini blush colour vase that was $0.99. 

I apologize i didnt take any before pics... but basically all you need to do it finds some instant crazy glue. Preferably something that bonds well to ceramic. I used "instant Krazy glue" from Home Depot, it was around $3 but should last you a few smaller projects. Find the center of the plate by measuring... and stick it to 'em. I set mine with a very large book for about 15 minutes... and VOILA!! beautiful serving platters... the best thing is... I can use them at home after the wedding is over. 

{TOTAL COST}

krazy glue $3 approx
3 plates from thrift store $4.27
