I love throwing parties and entertaining family and friends, and today I’m sharing with you a great way I came up with to serve candy (or anything else) in a pretty pedestal bowl with a stand that can be customized in any color!
Want to know the best part? Each candy bowl on a stand can be made for only $2! Cool, right? These little dishes are the perfect holders for serving candy at parties, entertaining, decoration, or just for snacking on at home! You can fill it with anything, too, it doesn’t have to be just candy…. there’s endless possibilities! My friends at Krylon sent me a big box of free paint to play with, so I have been doing lots of painting this week, and can’t wait to share more fun crafts with you!
Here are the easy directions! These dishes do come with a warning- “Highly Addictive,” because once you make one, you’re going to want to keep going and making more! You have been warned.
Supplies:
- Small- medium-glass bowl (Check your local dollar store- my bowl was only $1)
- Candlestick (Also from the dollar store for just $1)
- Spray paint in your preferred color (I used Krylon’s Blue Ocean Breeze, one of my favorite Krylon colors!)
- E6000 adhesive, or another strong adhesive or glue
1. Spray paint the top, bottom, and sides of the candlestick. Be sure to spray in multiple thin coats, which will allow for better coverage.
2. Once the paint is dry, use some E600 to trace a thin ring of adhesive around the top of the candlestick. Don’t use too much glue- you don’t want it oozing out from the candlestick.
Let dry according to the directions on the glue that you use, and voila, a beautiful little glass candy dish that matches your home or party decor! And for only $2? As Martha would say, “It’s a good thing.” 😉
Happy crafting!
