Both of these items were easy and inexpensive to make
Under Glass
I had the glass jar
I believe I paid
$2 for it
I bought birds (2 to a bag)
eggs and nest for $1 a piece
at Walmart
A handle full of rock
from a bag that I bought for another project
(Dollar Tree)
I layered rocks
on an angle then tipped the nest
added the eggs and birds
So for about $5 you can make this
Glass Plate Stand
I bought a glass plate
and a glass candlestick
each for a $1
at Dollar Tree
The glue E-6000
I got at Walmart
I believe under $4
All I did was put glue on the candle stick top and
inverted it onto the glass plate
the hardest part was to
leave it alone
and let it dry...
So for $2 and a little bit of glue
you get a really nice cake/fruit etc plate
Luv your little bird nest...so cute and thrifty! Hope you have a FUN Monday!

Oh I love the cake stand and I have made several of these as gifts from the dishes at the DT. They look fabulous. Your apothecary jar is wonderful. I love the display. Don't forget to save this pic and use it in the "Spring Cloche Party" coming up on the 2nd of April. Beautiful crafts. Hugs, Marty
ReplyDeleteThose birds are so cute. But that plate is super clever. It looks like the perfect cake plate.
ReplyDeleteThank goodness for 'dollar tree'.... the birds are really nice.....

Thanks so much for joining the party. I love your apothecary jar, and the cake stand. Beautifully done. Hugs, Marty
ReplyDeleteJo, I love your apothecary jar, all filled with spring decor! And how frugal, too. I gotta try my hand at making a cake stand- I saw some glass candlesticks at GW yesterday and actually have the glue. Maybe soon, in between all my nursing and house-maid duties... LOL
ReplyDeleteHave a Happy Easter, my friend. xo Sue
