A tale of one small crafter and big Anthropologie...

The other day I was on 

twitter

cause twitter is awesome

and if you are the people out there mocking twitter-

I know it's just because you don't understand

so

where was I?

Oh yes, 

I was on twitter

just twitter tweeting around

checkin' out how everyone was starting their day

when Bam!

I see this tweet from my friend Bethany 

about this mini cake plate that BHLDN

is selling for $78.00

!!!

Now if you don't know

BHLDN is owned by Anthropologie

It sells wedding stuff

or

as I like to call it- "Stuff we knock off from Ashley's brain"!

Cause here is what I made OVER a year ago!!!!

I made this for like $3.00 and BHLDN is selling theirs for $78.00!

All you need to make your own:

Small vintage plate

A small pretty glass or candlestick - I prefer little glasses you would serve liquors in

Silicone Adhesive

Instructions for making Mini Cake Stands that are so cute

you could charge $78.00 when you are done

+ Clean the plate and glass with soapy water- dry thoroughly

+ Apply small ring of silicone adhesive around the bottom ring of the glass {you will want the drinking edge of the glass to set on the table}.  Place carefully on the bottom center of the plate.  Hold firm for a minute or two and try not to move around.  You want a good seal.

+ Wipe any extra that might have squeezed out of an edge.

+ These will need to dry over night in a protected area.  

*After the adhesive dries you have a seal strong enough to be put through the dishwashers!  Although I still recommend you hand wash them for safe keeping.  Some vintage plates will chip and lose paint in the dishwasher.
