DIY 3-Layer Plate


A couple years ago, I purchased two of these April Cornell salad plates on clearance at HomeSense.   You have seen what I did with one of them,  right HERE.  This winter I found two of the matching dinner plates at a thrift store.   


I usually have a couple of Dollarama candle holders in my "stash", just in case...you know.   A girl has to be prepared.  ;)










The first thing I did was find the middle of two of the plates. 


I glued the candle holders onto the bottom of the plates (while the plates were upside down).  I always forget about taking pictures each step of the way.  At this stage, my little project could have been complete and I would have had two beautiful raised cake plates.


However, I decided to keep going, since I had another plate that matched.  I now have a 3 layer sweet plate, or a sweet 3 layer plate ;)  that cost me about $8.  I think my bunny is hoping for carrots on that plate.  But anyone who knows me, knows the snack will be MUCH sweeter!!

  1. Hi Tanya,
    Oh, this is so pretty! I love the contrast between the glass candle holder and those pretty plates.
    Beautiful idea, the Bunny pitcher is just gorgeous...What a terrific savings as well. Well done! This 3 layer plate would be a lovely gift too...
    All the Best,

  2. What a great way of using those odd plates we have - not enough for a whole set, but want them on the table somehow. I'll be using this idea in my own home. What kind of glue did you use?

  4. Tanya,
    You turned 3 very pretty plates into a tower of beauty! Making a treasure out of this and that makes my heart sing!
    Your 3 tiered plate looks so lovely with the glass candlestick risers. I prefer the glass so much better than any metal ones!

    What are you going to do with it? Fill it with Easter goodies????
    Thanks for sharing how to make this beauty!

  9. Hi Tanya, You have inspired me to try this idea. It will give me an excuse to look for a single plate that I think is lovely but there is only one of them. Thanks for bringing some beautiful creativity into our day.

  18. How very pretty, I like the glass and plate combination. The plates are so pretty that the 3 tiered would have to turn out great. Did you use E2000 for glue? Love that stuff. So very pretty. Thanks for sharing your creative inspiration at Sunday's Best! PS - featuring on my Facebook page.
