PROJECT TIME: 10 Minutes
MATERIALS: Salad Plate, Candle Stick, E6000 Glue
DIFFICULTY: EASY
Being that I have a slight obsession about cleanliness in my kitchen especially when it comes to my sink, I hate having my soaps and my kitchen sponge sitting on my counter. I had been looking for some cute ideas of how to solve this problem without putting everything under my sink where it isn't as accessible. I decided to use the same idea that I have used in my daughters bathroom with all their skin care items - I made a plate stand.
Seriously one of the easiest things to do, but it did make for an amazing way to keep stuff off my counter. I headed over to my favorite store Target and found a cute plate and candle holder. I used a salad sized plate because the area I put this in is not super deep and the salad size was more than big enough for my items, but you could use a standard dinner plate if that works better. On the candle stick I wish I had gotten a little wider based one since it will make it a little more sturdy - but I also didn't want it to look to bulky so this ended up working great. The candle holder cost $7.99 and the plate was $2.99, I already had the E6000 glue so I just used the one I had on hand. I have seen a similar project done with items from the dollar store but since this was in my kitchen I wanted it to have a certain look. DO NOT go cheap on the glue! You want to make sure to use a permanent washer safe glue that will not dissolve over time since it is exposed to water.
Once you have all your materials just make sure to wash your plate and candle stick well and make sure they are dry and then follow the instruction on the glue. I had to wait 24 hours before mine was ready for use but it was well worth it! I love my new kitchen stand!
