You will love this glass dessert plate project!
I love these plates. I mean the plates aren't anything special on their own.
However I did get a really good deal on them.
I got several different sizes and shapes.
I also got a good deal on a couple of candle holders.
I highly recommend that you never pass up a great deal on glassware. All shapes and sizes, if you get them for fifty cents or a dollar, you can't go wrong. They are so fun to put together for projects. Have you seen my glass totem tutorial? If you check it out, you will quickly discover that I may have a problem when it comes to collecting glassware!
You know where I’m going with this, right?
You know I’m not a good stager. I don’t have scrumptious cupcakes to display.
But I do have a light box to take the pictures of my new glass dessert plate!
I love, love, love the way these pieces fit so perfectly together.
It’s like they were separated at birth!
If only I was having a party so that I could use it!

A product like E 6000 Glue is perfect for a small project like this. You can find great tips on that Totem Tutorial I mentioned above. When will you be making your own glass dessert plate?

Can you share what kind of glue you used? I have been toying with a similar idea but not sure what best clear glue to use on glass? Thanks for any information!

I use clear GE II silicone for windows and doors for all of my glass projects. I find it in the caulk aisle at Home Depot.
I have had a totem outdoors for almost 5 years year round, and it's holding up so well!
have fun, good luck!

Pretty! It's fun to see clear glass. I'm voting to fill it with goodies, though! {smile!}

It looks beautiful. You need to have a party now so you can use it.

That turned out great! Fill it up with fruit -- anything -- just display it!
