Create Counter Space
A thrift store find helped create more counter space in my kitchen.
After moving into a new place, & we needed stuff. I went to the thrift store looking for candle sticks or something that I could balance together to make a larger pedestal for 3 inch candles. There were no candle sticks.
Fortunately, the thrift shop was having a huge 10 cent sale. It was very picked over & only a few odd pieces were left. Surprisingly those odd things fit together perfectly. New project: Cake stand or Kitchen stand.
This wide stemmed plastic wine glass is the best part of the whole design.
A normal thin stemmed wine glass might be to fragle to hold up a full size dinner plate. This one looked super think at the base, solid and a great shape!
Next treasures I found were plates:
The top is two plates glued on to the wine glass. A full size dinner plate on top, under that is small plastic plate that fit perfectly in the groves & created a nice shape.
* Note: I did paint the inside of the plastic wine glass & the outside as well, before it was glued together.
Bottom base
The bottom saucer of a terra-cotta pot & flipped up side down.
After everything was glued together with strong glue, from the dollar store. The whole thing was painted with acrylic paint & sealed.
Normally, I would have used spray paint but today I used a brush. Turned out great after a few coats.
Perfect! Lifts my stuff up higher & I see more counter space.
Prefect for the corner of the kitchen, keeps the onions away from the potatoes & a nice fake plant for the POP! of color.
