Homemade treat trays
Here is my first project of the year! I used a couple of pretty vintage floral plates, thrifted candlesticks of different heights, and some E6000 glue to put together these sweet little treat trays. Now mind you, I have NEVER had occasion to use treat trays like this... but, I'm convinced that's only because I've never had them before.
I plan to make up a reason to use them soon! This project was so easy there's really no tutorial needed, but I will say the trickiest part is centering the candlestick on the bottom of the plate. So, eyeball it carefully... or, "measure twice, glue once"... or, whatever your centering mantra may be... and give it a try!
I too make these lovely dishes as gifts and to keep. i have made so many and they are always a treat for the people I give them to. Usually with some homemade cookies. Yours are very pretty. wishing you a wonderful 2013. xo, Jeanne
