PRESENTATION PLATE

These Pedestal Plates are made from yard sale and thrift store finds. Combine plates, candle holders and glass cheese domes for your own unique presentation plate. The silicon based glue makes these washable and durable.

Materials Needed:

Plate

Candlestick

Glass Dome

Silicon-based glue such as E-6000

Painter's Tape

Directions:

Apply glue around the top edge of candlestick. It can be metal, as shown in the sample, brass, wood or any other material. (Figure A)

Center and press firmly in place to the bottom of a pretty ceramic or china plate. (Figure B)

Secure the candlestick in place with painter's tape while the glue sets and dries. It may take as long as 24-48 hours for the glue to set. (Figure C&D)

When the glue is thoroughly dry, remove the tape. Top the presentation plate with a pretty glass dome from a tag sale of flea market.

Check out the archives at the site for more projects.

CUTE.....TS here I come :^)
Seems like you can always find the cheese boards with the glass dome....I think those would make a pretty topper too!
(and you could use the board for a display riser, or a lamp base!)

Jim, I love the pedestal plate and I saved the site to go back and look more later. Thanks for sharing.

Hey, that's sort of like what I did to make my candle holder and pedestal plate.

I find lots of glass candleholders at the thrift store, and Dollar Tree now has several of them.

Jaybird, what do you think is a reasonable price for those cheese boards? I know where I can get one for $4.50--wasn't sure if that was a good price or not. I don't see any gorgeous domes like the one in this picture though. You can bet I will be keeping my eyes open for them now though.

Thanks for the site, Jim. I enjoyed looking through their projects.

I have seen them for as little as a dollar and at most $5, but the board would have to be in perfect shape at $5!!
That fancy dome was a butter dish cover, and they show up pretty regularly in garage sales in this area.... Let me know if you don't find one and I'll keep my eyes open and send one to you!

Thanks Jaybird. I'll see if I come across any next time I hit the TS. If not, I might take you up on your offer. Always hard to send breakables through the mail--think they play football with the boxes! LOL
