How To Make A Junky 3-Tiered Stand

While thrifting last weekend with my

crafty bff Donna, I found

a pair of really cool artichoke finials. 

Sometimes I am not sure how I am going to use

the stuff I find, but this time I knew...

one of them would make a nice little topper

for a DIY tiered stand.

Paired with a set of old baking pans,
things on the junk horizon were looking good!

~How to make a junky three-tiered stand~

Supplies:

Three metal baking pans or pie plates

Charcoal or silver spray paint

White acrylic paint

Two glass candle sticks

Four wooden balls for the feet (flat on one side)

E6000 glue

Fine sandpaper

Finial for the top of the stand

Scrap cloth 

Awl to make hole for finial screw to fit into

Directions:

 First I used two good coats of my spray paint 

on the finial, wooden balls, and candle sticks.

Once they were dry, I used a cloth to dab on

a bit of white acrylic paint to each spray painted 

area, rubbing it lightly to make the spray paint

match the metal well.  After that I used a bit

of fine sandpaper to lightly distress 

the wooden balls and finial.

Next I used my awl to make a hole in the smallest

of the three pans that the finial screw would go in.

 After that I used my E6000 glue to each section

together, allowing each to set a bit before

adding the next layer.  I began by gluing the flat side

of the wooden feet to the bottom of the largest pan first.
Spacing them out evenly, they support the stand well.

Next one candle stick went between the largest and 

medium pans, gluing in place.  

After that was dry 

I did the same between the medium and

small pans, finishing with gluing the finial screw

in place in the top of the stand.

(I always use this adhesive

in a well ventilated area, it is very stinky)

If you missed my DIY Apothecary jars, I used

a similar technique to make them.

I let the stand dry overnight in my garage 

and by morning she was junk-tastic!
