Glass candle/cupcake holders

Super easy, super pretty, I made these from glass plates and glass candlesticks I found at Goodwill. The original idea is here: The Wandering Chopsticks When I round up some bigger plates I'm going to make a 3 tier masterpiece.
 Gather your materials. Be sure and use glue that is made for glass and dries clear. Wash and dry everything. I used a little rubbing alcohol to clean the top of the candlestick and the bottom of the plate to make sure the glue would adhere well. This step may not be necessary but these stuck tight.

Add the glue to the top of the candlestick like so:


 Place the center of the plate on the candlestick. If you're picky about it being the exact center you may have to do a little geometry, but since I have math and measuring, I just eyeballed it. My plate had a design that made it a little easier.


 Press the two together and hold for a minute or two. Follow the directions on your glue for drying time. I let mine sit overnight before I picked them up.

 Add a candle or cupcake and tada!
