Quick Holiday Candy Dishes

Do you need a last minute candy dish?  Donna Budzynski is on our blog with two quick and easy ideas on how to make unique candy dishes from items you already have in your home.

This is a unique way to serve snacks, food during any occasion! This adds height, color and fun to your table. Give old dishes new purpose this holiday season.

Time: 10 – 15 minutes
Level: Beginner

Here's what you need:

• Glue Dots® Advanced Strength Double-Sided Sheets
• Glass with stem (or candle stick)
• Bowl or plate
• Ribbon
• Battery Operated Tea Lights (optional)

Here's what you do:

Before you begin, select a bowl and glass (or plate) that have relatively flat bottoms.  Make sure they both fit together nicely before moving on.  

First, cut an Advanced Strength sheet to fit on the bottom of the glass or candle holder.  Once you have cut the sheet to size, remove one liner and press it firmly onto the bottom of the glass.

Next, remove the other liner on the adhesive and press the small bowl onto the adhesive on the bottom of the glass. Press firmly along the inside of the bottom of the bowl for a secure bond.

Add ribbon around the stem or other decorative items around the base. Add a battery operated tea light inside the base of the glass and fill with candy.

That's it!  If you don't have extra stemware or dishes, you can purchase extras along with Advanced Strength Double-Sided Sheets at your local Walmart.

Happy Holidays!

P.S. Below is how the final project will look if you use tall stemware and plates using the same steps as above. Instead of candy, fill the plates with pre-made appetizers like cheese and crackers.
