Total Time: 30 minutes

Yield: 1

Supplies:

• two or three coordinating ceramic plates and bowls
• drill
• drill bit for drilling glass or ceramic
• wrought iron hanging plant holder
• 1 nut
• 1 1/4" by 1 1/2" bolt
• 2 washers
• 1/4" drill bit

Steps:

1. Drill a hole in the center of each plate or bowl that you are using in the design. For the one pictured, I used a plate, a flower shaped bowl, and then a small bowl in the center.

 

 
2. Drill a 1/4" hole into end of wrought iron plant holder. Use a piece of wood to support the wrought iron while drilling. Insert the bolt through the three layers of plates/bowls.

 

 
3. Bolt to wrought iron end.

I have a bunch of clear pink dishes that a friend gave to me. I have plans to make flowers out of them. Just need to get the right drill bit so I don't break them ;)

Something else you can make with different sizes of plates and patterns is a dessert tray holder. Usually, I make them with three sizes of plates and drill a hole in each. Then you purchase hardware that you put through the plates to hold them together. These can be found on Amazon: RICH-Po 2 Tier , 3 Tier Crown Cake Stands Cupcake Plate Stand Handle Hardware Fitting Holder for candies, Dessert, Bread,Fruit, Candy (3 Tier, Gold)

This is great. I love these. Such a cute way to dress up the garden and maybe hold onto some cherished items.
