Paint:
I sprayed a nontoxic finish on it.
assemble:
I just hot glued the two pots to the two upper stands (someone mentioned in a the comments of a previous project that hot glue didn't work for them and they used apoxy. I haven't had any problems with my hot glue not holding...but my bubble gum dispenser was for decorations...and this dessert stand wasn't moved around a lot)
Fill with deliciousness
I later used the bottom tier as a cookie platter...cause it was just sitting there.
This was my husbands cookie recipe. My cookies look so much better than this.
I LOVE this idea! The pots are cheap and come in so many different sizes! I'm definately going to try this one...I will send a link back to your site to give credit where credit is due!

ReplyDeleteOk, I just need to stop visiting your blog!! The craft store (and now Lowe's folks) are starting to call me by name!!
ReplyDeleteI am attempting the bubble gum dispenser this weekend!
Oh my, oh my! You just made my day! I was trying to make a cupcake stand from formula cans, but it wasn't coming out the way I wanted it to. Then I see this and it is PERFECT for the camping themed baby shower I am throwing in June. Can't wait to give this a try!

ReplyDeleteWhat a GREAT idea. We've used cake rounds and ribbons, but never thought of this. You have inspired me!
ReplyDeleteVery very clever!!! Love the shot with all the goodies piled on. :) Cool project. Stopping by as this week's CSI Judge. :)
ReplyDeleteGood Idea! I have had good luck putting together china or pottery with clear caulk....I used GE. So if the hot glue is not working, try that.
