Hope!! Diy Tiered Jewelry Organizer Made From Vintage China Plates & Teacups

Today I'm going to demo yous how yous tin plough your thrift store too flea marketplace set teacups, plates, too saucers into a pretty tiered organizer. This organizer is non bad for belongings jewelry or other pocket-sized collections, makes a unique candy dish, too is sure enough a conversation piece. All yous ask are a few supplies. It's easier than yous powerfulness think!

Assemble your supplies

First, let's assemble our supplies. For this projection yous volition ask a multifariousness of sometime plates, saucers, too teacups. You volition ask a underground of E6000 adhesive. This is available at hardware stores, division stores such every bit Target, too fifty-fifty inward some grocery stores. Due to the materials nosotros volition endure gluing, I practise non recommend using whatsoever other adhesive. Hot gum volition non work, nor volition water-soluble school glue, thus larn yourself a underground of E6000.

You volition ask a disposable popsicle stick or arts and crafts stick to help spread the glue, too yous volition ask some sometime paper to encompass too protect your tabletop piece yous work.

A paper plate or a slice of waxed paper comes inward handy when yous ask to laid your glue-covered arts and crafts stick down, thus yous may desire to maintain 1 of those at your workstation too. And remember, when using whatsoever type of adhesive, ever endure sure to piece of employment inward a well-ventilated area.

Choosing your china

For the organizer nosotros are going to brand today, yous volition ask iii plates too iii teacups. From the bottom up, our organizer volition await similar this: plate, teacup, plate, teacup, plate, teacup.

To maintain your tiered organizer from beingness top-heavy too toppling over, nosotros ask to laid upwards our organizer thus that the largest too heaviest plates too cups are on the bottom, too the smaller too lighter ones are on the top. Think nigh this when yous are choosing your china.

Before nosotros gum whatsoever of our pieces together, nosotros volition starting fourth dimension pick them out too stack them upwards thus nosotros tin come across how our finished projection volition look.

First, select a heavy plate for the bottom thus that your organizer has a sturdy base. Remember, nosotros are going to endure stacking china on top of this plate, thus it has to endure large too heavy thus that your "china tower" does non topple over. Once yous accept chosen your base of operations plate, laid it aside too select your starting fourth dimension teacup that volition endure glued to the top of that plate. This teacup volition endure glued upside-down to the bottom plate. This is because the diameter of the cup's opening is (most likely) larger than the diameter of the bottom of the cup.

Once yous accept chosen your starting fourth dimension cup, laid it aside adjacent to your base of operations plate too and thus select your middle plate. This plate volition endure glued on top of the bottom of the teacup that yous only chose. Make sure yous select a plate that has a smaller diameter than your base of operations plate. Your middle plate should also endure lighter than your base of operations plate. Once yous accept chosen that plate, effort it out to come across how it looks stacked upwards too and thus laid it aside.

Note: if using elongated plates, yous tin either draw of piece of employment them upwards or stagger them, every bit shown inward the photos below:

Plates lined upwards amongst each other.

Plates staggered.

Next, select your minute tea cup. This loving cup volition endure glued upside-down on top of the middle plate that yous only chose.

Once yous accept chosen your minute teacup, select your 3rd plate. This plate volition endure situated on top of the bottom of the teacup that yous only chose. Choose the smallest too lightest plate for this position. Influenza A virus subtype H5N1 saucer oftentimes industrial plant non bad for this position.

Finally, yous volition select your 3rd too in conclusion teacup to consummate your china tower. This teacup volition endure glued right-side-up on top of the pocket-sized plate or saucer that yous in conclusion chose.

Now that yous accept all of your china picked out too yous know what is going where, it's fourth dimension to gum them together! Before yous glue, brand sure all pieces are laid upwards clean too dry. We volition gum them together from the bottom up.

Open your adhesive too carefully apply a shout out upwards of gum some the rim of the starting fourth dimension (bottom) teacup, too and thus house the teacup, glue-side downwards onto the top middle of your bottom plate.

Now - it is upwards to yous whether yous desire to popular off on gluing correct away, or hold back until those 2 pieces accept dried. I recommend allowing them to dry out overnight earlier adding the adjacent piece. Either way, adjacent yous volition gum the middle plate to the bottom of the bottom cup, allow that to dry, too and thus add together your minute loving cup - 1 time once to a greater extent than upside-down, too 1 time that is dry out add together your pocket-sized plate, too and thus your in conclusion top cup, which yous volition gum to the pocket-sized plate right-side-up.

Another pick is to forgo the top teacup too exercise the pocket-sized plate every bit your top tier. It's a affair of personal taste. Do what yous mean value looks best. Below are 2 dissimilar ways of stacking elongated plates - lined upwards or staggered.
