Thrifty Thursday: DIY- Multipurpose Stand + GIVEAWAY!!

-
DIY Storage Stand

What you will need:
  • 2- Plates (same or varied sizes)
  • 1-Candlestick Holder
  • Hot Glue Gun/ Glue
  • 1-Figurine (optional)












Directions:

1.  Hot glue the bottom of the rim of the candlestick holder.
















2. Set on the center of plate immediately as the glue dries quickly. Pick up the plate by the candlestick holder after about a minutes to test the strength of your glue. Add more glue around the edge or re-glue completely if necessary.












3. Put glue the top rim of the candlestick holder.



















4. Center second plate and place on top of the candlestick holder. Remember to do this quickly so the glue doesn't dry.













5.Decide the placement of the figurine and then add a thick layer of hot glue.














6. Place on top of the second plate and hold firmly for ten seconds.


















Finished Result:
This is just a variation but you can definitely be clever with the idea. I found all of the materials for this stand from Goodwill. I chose these plates because I could easily cover the image in the center and I loved the gold rim that they had! The whole stand cost me about $3.50.

I have made this stand before using the same sized plates on top and bottom.You can also substitute the candlestick holder for a wine glass and fill it with potpourri or glass rocks, or even build a three layer stand.






Uses for your stand:

Nail Polish Holder
















Jewelry Stand
















 


Makeup Stand

Trial Tuesday: Removing Printed Labels From Plastic

So if you have been following my blog. you know that I have really been getting more organized in 2015. One way that I continue to add new items to my home is to recycle the products that I use. Recently, I came across this Pin that I wanted to try out for baking ingredient storage: find this tutorial on www.hometalk.com Now while this idea is very clever I wasn't sure if I would use paint to redo the cans that I have. This got me thinking about another Pin that I saw on Pinterest about removing printed labels with nail polish remover. Found on www.2busybrunettes.com After I saw this Pin, I checked it out on YouTube and with thin plastic, it does work. With this in mind I wondered if I could remove the label from the Folgers Container. Which brings us to this weeks trial. TRIAL What You Will Need: Before: Directions: Fold a piece of paper towel and soak it in nail polish remover.  Place nail polish soaked paper towel on the label for 5 minutes.
