DIY Platter!

I love Ross shopping! I found some awesome plates that I couldn't pass up. Just a little Gorilla Glue, and a Hobby Lobby run..and here's what it ended up as!



Here's what you will need:

Epoxy Gorilla Glue {or any strong bonding glue}
Plain Wood Candlestick {hobby lobby or Michaels}
Small Wood Circle plaque {these are in the wood section and about 50cents each}

Glue your candlestick to your small circle plaque using your epoxy glue. Let dry, and paint whatever color you prefer! I prefer about 2 or 3 coats of paint. Once your paint is dry..sand it down with some sandpaper for a little distress. Next, throw some epoxy on top of the candlestick and place your plate on top. Hold down firmly for a minute or two, allowing it to start drying in the correct spot. Then set aside for it to completely dry.

and done!

So fun for any occaision! Make a couple of them, different sizes, mismatching. All for under $5 each!
