DIY display plate

Hey y'all.

Glue Mommy is getting ready to do its first craft show in November.  In preparation, we started looking for frugal ways to display our stuff. What better way than with these displays.

All you need to repeat this is to grab yourself an old plate, a funky glass or dessert cup, some Gorilla glue, and your favorite color spray paint. 

Here's the instructions:
1.  Wash and dry everything.

2.  Turn the plate upside down on a flat surface.  Find the center.

3.  Apply a thin layer in gorilla glue to the underside edge of the cup. Put on the underside of the plate and press firmly for a minute. 

4.  Carefully turnover and set some heavy books on top. Leave it alone for about 2 hours.

5.  Take it outside and spray paint to your hearts content.  (Please follow the cans instructions. )  I used Valspar gloss paint and had great results.

Don't forget check out our ESTY shop.  Have a great evening.

ETSY Shop is open for business!!! YAY!!!

Praise be to God that I am still awake right now!!  I've been up creating, staging, and now Glue Mommy is open for business!!  I'm so excited!!! 

I wanted to be honest to my future customers (aka y'all) by addind only new creations, not leftover projects from 3 years ago that I found in the back of the closet and can't remember how I made.  In a nutshell, if I wouldn't put on a shelf in my living room, I'm not sending it to yours!!

So between creative brainfarts and my 9-5 job, the store will take a tortoise-like shape... slow and steady.  With that said, click http://www.etsy.com/shop/GlueMommy and buy, buy, BUY and as always, everything is customizable to fit your tastes and needs.

Thank you all and blessings!!
