Simple {Sweet Treat} Platters part II

 Yup... I went to the thrift store and got myself some more pretty plates. This particular one is my favorite so far I think. All three plates are a different, but all of them have some gold trimmings on them. I was lucky to find these little gold coloured candle holders as well. The plates were 4 for $2.99 and the candle holders were selling for $3.99 for a set of 3. I also ended up getting a couple other plates and some more candle holders for the bases. Altogether I have 6 beautiful platters to use at my wedding reception.... so far. :}


Theses are the candle holders I selected. I love the pretty pink glass one {favorite}




And the beautiful plates







{TOOLS}


I used a measuring tape and sharpie to determine the middle.




Heavy books to help set them in place




And Advanced instant krazy glue


























 This is where that starbucks book that I got really comes in handy 



AND finally.... all done! 




And then since I had something pretty to put them on... I made muffins :}







Unfortunately there was a sad turn of events. Apparently I didn't use enough glue on the top side of this two-tiered platter {yes the one with my favorite candle holder} and It lasted a couple feet off the ground and then  SMASH! now I am unable to get the glass holder off the bottom of the plate. Might have to resort to getting the hammer out. Good to know that if enough glue is used that those puppies aren't moving anywhere though.

Platter 




 My collection so far. Maybe just a couple more... they are rather fun to make.

Thanks for reading!
