Who uses them anymore? Visit any thrift store, and you’ll likely find a stack of heavy, glass serving platters. Younger generations don’t typically entertain this way, so Mom or grandma’s decorative glass platters end up at the 2nd hand store. But they don’t have to stay there!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I recently discovered the perfect way to re-purpose a glass platter. And to think it all started off with a problem. It was late afternoon. As I sat on my little front porch relaxing with a glass of ice tea, I realized I didn’t have a table or anything to set it on. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

So, out I went in search of one. I had in mind something wooden that I could re-paint and embellish. Instead, I found a gorgeous glass platter. Change of plans!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The platter was absolutely perfect for my garden-y motif. I loved the scalloped shape, the texture, the frosted leaf pattern and especially the flowers and songbirds. That’s when I decided that this platter would make a pretty tabletop. It can also be a plant<\/strong> stand<\/strong> or garden pedestal<\/strong>. I’ll show you how to make one for yourself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
