Weeknight Party Girl :: Disposable Serving Tiers {+ a giveaway!}... now closed

I can't even tell you how many times a week I bring cookies, fruit, snacks, you name it - somewhere. T-Ball practice, a game, a friends house, to the park - it seems never ending. Leaving platters places makes me crazy.

So I came up with a solution. And not just your average 'grab-a-paper-plate' solution. A real-live-looks-cute-in-public solution. With a little help from Chinet, I created colorful serving tiers. I even tested them at a real life party and they did not tip over or break. They held together perfectly - and washed up nicely if you're interested in trying to reuse them.

You'll need

Chinet Cut Crystal Dessert Plates

Chinet Cut Crystal Dinner Plates

Chinet Cut Crystal 9 ounce cups

Acrylic Paint in bright colors

Craft Epoxy {like E6000}

A Q-tip or small sponge

Step 1 :: Pour a small amount of paint on the inside of each glass. Swirl it around to coat the entire inside and pour extra back into the paint can. Let dry upside down, but check often that they are not sticking to the newspaper

Step 2 :: Spread a small amount of E6000 on the rim of one of the glasses using the q-tip and press it onto the center of a dinner plate.

Step 3 :: Spread a small amount of glue on the bottom of the glass that's glued to the plate and line up a second glass base on top of it. Press firmly.

Step 4 :: Spread a small amount of glue on the rim of the top glass using the q-tip and press a dessert plate on top. Let dry. Repeat with all of the glasses and plates until you have enough tiers.

Also, I discovered that two cupcake wrappers - one upside down and one right side up - fit perfectly into a 9 ounce cup! The perfect way to serve cupcakes!
