STEPS (clockwise, from top)
1. FIND plates in the same color family.
2. PLACE an egg cup on the center of the top of the large plate. Using the tape measure, confirm that the egg cup is properly centered on all four sides, then mark the location with painter's tape (as shown). Repeat with the bottom of the small plate, and with both the top and bottom of the medium one.
3. APPLY a thin layer of glue along the top ring of one egg cup. Place it directly onto the center of the medium plate's underside. Repeat with the other egg cup and the small plate. Let dry for 24 hours; remove the tape.
4. APPLY glue to the bottom rim of the egg cup that is attached to the medium plate, and affix it to the center of the large plate. Repeat with the small plate (as shown). Let dry for 24 hours; remove the remaining tape. Et voilà.
I´ve loved it, I will share it in FB and try to do it next week. I dont know where to find the egg cups.
ReplyDeleteTry True Value, City Centre, TSC and Lulus for egg cups although keep in mind colours might be limited.
ReplyDeleteYes! I love it too! And i'll try to do it with left over platea from a very old China
ReplyDeleteYes it would look great with some old mix and match plates. Let me know how it goes, send a pic in and share your masterpiece.
DeleteLove this idea!!!! and just in time as I started looking for cupcake stands just yesterday for my daughter's party in May. :) Thanks!!!! <3 <3 <3
ReplyDeleteGlad you like it and it came in the nick of time :O) I've been thinking that some egg cups are not always perfectly straight and smooth on top. So you could file the top a little or even cut a circle of felt fabric (larger than the egg cup top) stick it to the bottom of the plate then stick your egg cup to the felt. It may help to add sticking power.
DeleteWe really should have a photo gallery of finished plates, would be lovely to see how everyone gets on.
Where can I find e6000 glue in Kuwait?
ReplyDeleteHi Heba, try True Value or Ace Hardware.
