Today I'm going to exhibit you lot how you lot tin plough your thrift store in addition to flea marketplace teacups, plates, in addition to saucers into a pretty tiered organizer. This organizer is nifty for belongings jewelry or other pocket-sized collections, makes a unique candy dish, in addition to is for sure a conversation piece. All you lot need are a few supplies. It's easier than you lot powerfulness think!

Assemble your supplies

First, let's get together our supplies. For this projection you lot volition need a diverseness of sometime plates, saucers, in addition to teacups. You volition need a underground of E6000 adhesive. This is available at hardware stores, region stores such every bit Target, in addition to fifty-fifty inwards some grocery stores. Due to the materials nosotros volition last gluing, I practice non recommend using whatsoever other adhesive. Hot mucilage volition non work, nor volition water-soluble school glue, thus teach yourself a underground of E6000.

You volition need a disposable popsicle stick or arts and crafts stick to help spread the glue, in addition to you lot volition need some sometime paper to encompass in addition to protect your tabletop spell you lot work.

A paper plate or a slice of waxed paper comes inwards handy when you lot need to laid your glue-covered arts and crafts stick down, thus you lot may desire to hold ane of those at your workstation too. And remember, when using whatsoever type of adhesive, ever last sure to piece of work inwards a well-ventilated area.

Choosing your china

For the organizer nosotros are going to brand today, you lot volition need iii plates in addition to iii teacups. From the bottom up, our organizer volition await similar this: plate, teacup, plate, teacup, plate, teacup.

To hold your tiered organizer from beingness top-heavy in addition to toppling over, nosotros need to construct our organizer thus that the largest in addition to heaviest plates in addition to cups are on the bottom, in addition to the smaller in addition to lighter ones are on the top. Think nigh this when you lot are choosing your china.

Before nosotros mucilage whatsoever of our pieces together, nosotros volition start pick them out in addition to stack them upwards thus nosotros tin encounter how our finished projection volition look.

First, conduct a heavy plate for the bottom thus that your organizer has a sturdy base. Remember, nosotros are going to last stacking china on top of this plate, thus it has to last large in addition to heavy thus that your "china tower" does non topple over. Once you lot bring chosen your base of operations plate, laid it aside in addition to conduct your start teacup that volition last glued to the top of that plate. This teacup volition last 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 you lot bring chosen your start cup, laid it aside adjacent to your base of operations plate in addition to thus conduct your middle plate. This plate volition last glued on top of the bottom of the teacup that you lot only chose. Make sure you lot conduct a plate that has a smaller diameter than your base of operations plate. Your middle plate should also last lighter than your base of operations plate. Once you lot bring chosen that plate, elbow grease it out to encounter how it looks stacked upwards in addition to thus laid it aside.

Note: if using elongated plates, you lot tin either job them upwards or stagger them, every bit shown inwards the photos below:

Plates lined upwards amongst each other.

Plates staggered.

Next, conduct your minute tea cup. This loving cup volition last glued upside-down on top of the middle plate that you lot only chose.

Once you lot bring chosen your minute teacup, conduct your 3rd plate. This plate volition last situated on top of the bottom of the teacup that you lot only chose. Choose the smallest in addition to lightest plate for this position. H5N1 saucer oft plant nifty for this position.

Finally, you lot volition conduct your 3rd in addition to in conclusion teacup to consummate your china tower. This teacup volition last glued right-side-up on top of the pocket-sized plate or saucer that you lot in conclusion chose.

Now that you lot bring all of your china picked out in addition to you lot know what is going where, it's fourth dimension to mucilage them together! Before you lot glue, brand sure all pieces are gear upwards clean in addition to dry. We volition mucilage them together from the bottom up.

Open your adhesive in addition to carefully apply a telephone of mucilage unopen to the rim of the start (bottom) teacup, in addition to thus house the teacup, glue-side downwardly onto the top middle of your bottom plate.

Now - it is upwards to you lot whether you lot desire to leave of absence along gluing correct away, or hold off until those 2 pieces bring dried. I recommend allowing them to dry out overnight earlier adding the adjacent piece. Either way, adjacent you lot volition mucilage the middle plate to the bottom of the bottom cup, allow that to dry, in addition to thus add together your minute loving cup - ane time once again upside-down, in addition to ane time that is dry out add together your pocket-sized plate, in addition to thus your in conclusion top cup, which you lot volition mucilage to the pocket-sized plate right-side-up.

Another pick is to forgo the top teacup in addition to usage the pocket-sized plate every bit your top tier. It's a affair of personal taste. Do what you lot intend looks best. Below are 2 unlike ways of stacking elongated plates - lined upwards or staggered.
