Let's Make A Plate Stand!

After I found so many of these posted on Pinterest I knew I had to make one!  

I had a few of these glass candlesticks. 

 I sprayed the candlestick outside in the yard. We do not have a lawn right now, so I did not have to worry about any of the paint showing up on the green grass. 

I love these sample size paints!  Just the right size for all my small projects!  I painted this pretty gray color over the primer. 

I then  painted  a bit of brown glaze over the gray paint.  I really the gray distressed look that is so popular in decorating  right now!  As I type this, it might be out of style!  Things change so fast now!  

   

  I let it sit for a day before I glued the candlestick to the bottom of the plate.

I did a little research and found that this glue had a lot of good reviews.  I put a thin layer on the candlestick and eyeballed where I thought the center of the plate was.  Let it sit for 24 hours.

This is the finished plate stand.  I want to make more!  I have a few more glass candlesticks. I am now on the look out for cheap plates!
