An Idea Using My Glue Gun....

I wanted to share with you a  quick and easy way to make a tiered glass platter that's easy to make and easy to take apart....

A few weeks ago, a good friend was having a get together and I wanted to bring some chocolate covered strawberries.  What woman doesn't like chocolate? Since fruit is involved it's got to be good for you, Right?  I wanted to put the strawberries on a tiered glass platter, but didn't want to glue the dishes permanently together
I had an idea...  Maybe I could use my glue gun to put the plates together.

Here's what I started with....

I placed the glue on the outer edge of the glass cup's base.
Make sure you use a HOT glue gun,

NOT a low temperature glue gun.

As you can see my glue gun has gotten quite a work out over the years!

Work quickly. 

 The glue cools down fast. 

 It must be hot to have the glass pieces stick together.

I continued gluing the middle glass plate on top of the cup, 

Next I used an empty crystal salt shaker (I removed the cap from the shaker. I finished it off with the top platter.  It only took a few minutes  to complete this project and it was 

a perfect way to display my tasty treats. Unfortunately, I forgot to take a picture with the strawberries on the tiered platter.

Don't you just hate when you forgot to take a photo for a blog post?

Now here's the best part.

  Here's a great tip....

Once you are done using the platter no need to store it.  I just put it in the sink and run hot water onto the area where it has been glued.  Carefully pull it apart.  The hot water will begin to melt the hot glue and you can easily take the plates apart.   Just store the plates and next time you need a serving tray to display your desserts, you can glue them together.

If you missed my previous post about permanently gluing the plates together,  you can view it HERE.
