Showing Off

Everyone loves treats at work.  But I think they taste even yummier when you show them off.  An easy way to do this is putting your treats out on pretty melamine plates.  These are those inexpensive plastic plates that you find at Target and other box stores.  But what about taking it one step further?  Create a treat stand!

These stands are VERY easy to make and cost only about $4!  Plus, you can make different ones to match the various holidays.  I made this treat stand from a plate and coordinating bowl that I found at Target.  They each cost $2.  You will also need a plastic adhesive.  I use Loctite Plastics Bonding System.  It is a 2-step system that is very easy to use.

To make the treat stand, first clean your plate and a bowl, and remove any stickers from the back.  Following the directions on your adhesive, glue the plate and bowl together.  If you are using a traditional shaped bowl, make sure you glue the underside of the bowl to the underside of the plate.  Let the stand dry for the amount of time directed by your adhesive.  All done! 

 

 

What a pretty way to show off your tasty treats!
