a small glass jar with lid (not washed yet, you can see the .75 price on the bottom still there. A Pewter candle holder

next picture shows them combined

A cheese board with cover permanently attached to a wooden candle holder

Below: many uses for a crystal glass 'top' or whatever that I found.

This stand is a cut glass cover, a cut glass small plate placed on top of an inverted drinking glass (also has cut glass detail). (3 pieces)

This same butter dish combination on top of an inverted cut glass drinking glass makes a whole different look.

Another view with a small bowl placed in between plate and stand (4 pieces)

Stands for dishes

This is my thrift store stash. A few of the candle holders are from the dollar store (crystal). All for less than $5. The arrows show which parts I combined to make the stands shown just below.This is a clear glass votive that could be used upside down or as shown. I used hot glue to hold these together while I decide which will stay permanent. Then, I will use glass to glass glue to make a permanent bond for those I want to stay paired. Below is that votive at the bottom, an antique plate, then the little stand shown above sitting on top. I have this picture on share my craft (HGTV )I have been collecting some wooden plates and candle holders (thrift store trips) for my Tropical settings. I combined a few of them to create these elevated food serving surfaces. The plates were made in the Phillipines and are treated with food safe mineral oil.

I had a large candle holder, a wooden platform/plate and a cloche. I covered a bird's nest we found in our yard lined with the hair from our Siberian Huskies.

My husband made a more substantial base for it and permanently joined everything. This is a heavy piece now and won't topple (safer for that glass cloche now)! Then we used a darker gel stain to make the whole base more uniform (since we had used different types of wood with different finishes. I wanted to coordinate with my mahogany furniture.
