Dollar Store Candy Dish

I have been making dollar store cake stands and cupcake tiers for some time now with these candlestick holders.  But, I found these super kitsch bowls during my last visit and plopped on a candlestick holder and voila--a super cute candy dish.  Here's what you need:


Dollar store bowl
Dollar Store candlestick holder
E-6000 glue*


Here you can see the ornamental detail in the glass bowl


and





Next, add some of your E-6000 glue to the top rim of the candlestick holder.  *It is important to use a glue that is intended for glass such as E-6000.  If you try to use Super Glue, it won't hold and it also creates some type of vapor that gets trapped between the open area of the candlestick holder and the object you are gluing it to (which makes it appear white.)

Then, slap the bowl on top (centering of course), and there you have it--a fancy new candy dish!  Enjoy!
