Since July is coming quickly, for Fun Friday, I thought I would share one of my easiest crafts. I collect these strainer disks and pizza pans with holes when ever I find them. Then I gather open wire candle sticks in different sizes. They make cheap cake plates and are great in the colors of holidays for setting up a colorful themed buffet.
Of course I use E6000 glue, and let them sit over night before spraying them with enamel spray paint. Including the tray/plates, candle sticks and paint a set of these usually cost me between $5 and $10 to make. (Of course I buy my spray paint at Habitat for Humanity's Restore and at garage sales when I can, which helps keep cost down.)
Thanks for coming along, and have a fun and patriotic summer!!
Great idea! Thanks for sharing!
