one of my favorite parts of the holidays is the sweets.
caramels, homemade chocolates, ribbon candy, and cookies.
i started making this dessert tray last year but never finished it.
i don’t know why, it was super easy!
i purchased the plates and cups from my local thrift store, total cost: $3.25
you only need a couple plates, mugs, and some super glue.
this project takes 4 steps and 5 minutes.
1. glue mug on large plate 2. glue medium plate on mug 3. glue mug on medium plate 4. glue small plate on mug
wasn’t that easy?
since i don’t have any candy made yet, it works great as a centerpiece decorated with left over christmas ornaments.
also, my friend kristin from this & that creative
made a similar dessert tray, check it out here.
it’s a great knock-off of a $158.00 anthropologie dessert tower.
Oh my goodness- love this! I adore cake and sandwich stands so this is perfect- totally inspired to try this one myself..fabulous!
brilliant…there are always a plethora of lonely plates and cups/mugs at my local thrift stores.
WOW, I hadn’t ever thought or seen something like this! I love it, I have to have one now. Thanks for adding to my to-do list Danielle 😉
Wow, that looks awesome!! You could sell those babies.
So cute! And I especially love the cost of it!
I love this Danielle!! I have seen candlesticks used as the risers, but never mugs! So genius!
This is so cute, What a great idea for the holidays! I need to get to the trift store asap now so I can make some too 🙂
A great idea Danielle. Love it with the Christmas balls also. The perfect price too!

really cute! i’ve become obsessed with glueing votive bases to plates and bowls to be used as pedestals and cake platters. Can’t beat the price too!
Oh wow! I love it! And I have a bunch of dishes downstairs that I can use!!! So GREAT.
Oh My Goodness this is so fantastic! I will have to try this one for sure. I am NOT craffty, but I think I can handle this one. Thanks for sharing!

Perfect tray and I like the purple ornaments! I saw some awesome purple ones at Crate & Barrel, but I already had the blue thing going, so I had to pass- maybe next year?! Cute runner too:)
