Wanted to share this easy idea for decorating on a budget. At your local dollar store, ours is called Dollar Tree they have tons of glass. Glass plates, glass candle holders, glass vases, you get the picture. You can use these items for decorating your house during the holidays or anytime and you can make cake platters that would look gorgeous with all goodies that most of us will be baking soon.

Get yourself some of these from the dollar store, this is a vase and a candle holder. At Walmart you can purchase glass glue for about $2.50 a tube. The tubes will last a long time, I have glued atleast 20 things and still haven't used half the tube. Either E-6000 or Quick Grip will work and they can be found in the craft area near the hot glue guns.
Glue the candle stick holder to the bottom of the vase and this is what you get and this is what you can do with it for decor. This is a candle with coffee beans and the other has ornaments.
Purchase a glass plate and do the same thing by gluing the candle stick holder to the bottom of the plate and you have yourself a cake pedestal or put ornaments on it for decor. Any size plate would work, any color and any style. Buy an extra candle stick holder and a smaller size plate and make yourself a 2 tier platter.
