Do It Yourself

This little blog is wanting for content, so I took it upon myself to do something worth writing about.  That something was a craft.  This little jewelry stand is all over Pinterest, so I thought I'd add my tutorial to the mix.

1.  Head to your local thrift store/junk shop/craft fair/antique mall and pick up some fancy plates.  Mine match but yours don't have to.  Also, find some candle sticks to separate the tiers.

(While you're there, buy a sa-weet denim jacket for only $6!)

2.  Pile your supplies in the car and drive them to your mother's house, because she has a hot glue gun.

3.  Decide that the hot glue gun takes too long to heat up and makes too much of a mess.  Pick the dried glue off of your pieces....

4.  Raid your brothers' superglue stash.  If your brothers are anything like mine, they have plenty. 

5.  Finally get down to business!  Start with your largest plate.  Carefully spread glue along the bottom of one of your candlesticks and center it on the plate.

6.  Let the glue dry (it doesn't take long) before stacking and gluing the rest of your pieces.  If you want, use a teacup on top instead of a saucer.

7.  Congratulations! You are now crafty.  Add your jewelry and admire your handiwork!
