Dollar Store Bowl Pedestal


Here is another pedestal that I created from plastic items from Dollar Tree.  I needed a display piece for my Glitterpooh booth at the Farmers Market and I created this all from items from the dollar store except for the glue which is E6000.  This entire piece is lightweight and costs under ten dollars including tax.  It was simple and easy.

1.  Gather your bowls or trays.  The pink and green bowls are ice cream bowls.
2.  Figure out how you want them to look, flip them over, connect to each other - you get the idea!
3.  Rough up the smooth edges you are going to glue with a nail file.
4.  Start gluing with the E6000 glue.  Let it dry overnight.
5.  Start adding beads, I used toy necklaces found in the children's aisle.  If you're impatient like me I started gluing them on before the rest was dry.  I used a glue gun to attach the beads because the E6000 doesn't set immediately and then the beads would slide off.  Have fun creating one of a kind pieces.
