Tuesday Tutorial: Three Tiered Serving Platter
Hi everyone!!! I just got back from a super fun, super exhausting ragnar relay race down in Arizona. If you enjoy running, you have GOT to run one of these relays! Ok, sorry, I’m just still on a running high I guess:)
Back to the tutorial. Awhile back, I bought some plates on clearance at Pier 1, and thought they had silhouette written all over them!! I busted out my handy dandy machine yet again, and spiced up some boring ol plates. Then I thought, why not create a tiered platter!
Here’s what you need…
Supplies:
-
3 different sized plates
-
2 sundae dishes, candlesticks, or cups
-
E3000 or another strong adhesive
Step1:
If you would like to embellish your plates, do this first. I used my silhouette to cut out 3 different doily patterns out of black vinyl, then stuck them on each plate.
Step 2:
Apply the adhesive to the bottom rim of the glass or dish you’re using. Stick it to the center of the largest plate. (I totally eye-balled this one) Hold firmly for about 1 minute.
Step 3:
Apply adhesive to the top rim of your glass or dish. Press the bottom of the next largest plate, lining it up the best you can so everything is centered.
Step 4:
Finally, repeat these steps to stack your final tier on top. Just make sure everything is centered before you leave it to dry. Allow to dry for a good 24 hours before using.
That’s it!!!
Sooo easy huh…
Now you have a fancy little serving platter for all your entertaining needs:)
