Ok, I have seen these things all over Pinterest. In so many different variations. I decided to give it a shot. I found the platters at Michael's in their clearance section. I paid maybe $3 for the 3 of them. The candlestick holders I got at Dollar Tree and Target. Another $3. I mixed mod podge with some blue food coloring to try and get the sea glass effect. I think I used to much blue. I was trying to go with the top plate. Again I'm just preparing for my daughter's Ariel themed birthday. You can never be too prepared : ) Then I just super glued the platters to the candlesticks. I also added a lazy susan mechanism on the bottom so it gave it some lift off the table and it spins. Since the lazy susan mechanism was metal I added some felt circles so it wouldn't scratch my table.
I know the candlesticks look crooked, but I think it's just the angle that I took the picture. Once I finished it, I realized I had no where to put it. All my cabinets were full, so it sat on my table for like a week, but it looked good as a center piece on my table, even without sweets ; ) So many more variations I need to try!
