Teacup Dessert Stand Craft Project

I love taking things that are old and turning them into something that is gorgeous! I was shopping at a thrift store the other day and noticed that they had an incomplete china set on sale for $1.50. Yes…there were 18 pieces in the set for $1.50. So I took the set home and made a dessert stand out of some of the pieces.

I used 6 pieces on this stand so I guess it cost about .60 to make this one. It looked great and was very simple to make!

Once complete, it would make a great inexpensive gift!

Supplies:

• Old plates and teacups
• Superglue

Instructions:

1. Simply stack one teacup on the biggest plate. The teacup can be upside down or right side up. Be creative.
2. Super glue the cup to the plate (watch out for your fingers…you don’t want to get super glue on anything but the cup).
3. Once dry, stack the smaller plate on top of the teacup and glue.
4. Add the next teacup.
5. Repeat until you are satisfied with your creation.

Here’s another one that I did out of black cups and plates. This one cost me about $1.00.
