I am clearly not doing a great job posting with the way I'm feeling. After the day is done I have no more energy, and sitting and typing is apparently too much energy for me! I did want to post a project I JUST completed. Even though this should have taken three hours, it took me three days. The second day I ran out of paint.( note to self always buy two cans of paint!) Anyway I got the idea from Pinterest. It's so easy, and I so wish I had thought of this first. It's pretty self explanatory, but here is what I started off with. Simple terra cotta pots.
Glued them together.
And then an awesome four days later, sprayed them!
I have a thing for white serving dishes. I can't get enough of them, and I've been needing some more. That's why I did this project. I sprayed them a glossy white, and then a glass like protective coating. The whole project cost me $15. Not bad for three cake plates!
I want to make one more large one. The largest one there is 10 inches, and I'm looking for 14 or bigger. But overall really happy with the outcome. I like the fact that they all have a little different shape. Now my fruit is more organized on my table, instead of everything shoved on one plate!

I hate paying high prices for pretty cake plates. So, I love these!
I can see them in different applications, at different times of the year. Party platters, Christmas ornaments, centerpieces. Very nice. Thanks!
What a great idea! They look fabulous! Hope you feel better soon!
Is there a special paint you used that makes it food safe?? Just wondering. They look great and so easy! I would love to make some!
Is this safe for dishes that will hold food. Are dishes, paint, finishes nontoxic?
