UPCYCLED CHAFING DISH BECOMES A COOL SERVER
Modern chafing dishes are made of light metal or ceramic casseroles with handles, sometimes covered with a Pryrex lid.
I found a lovely Rodney Kent vintage, hand wrought, footed silver dish that I am using for this project. Upcycled as a stylish stand for presentation of sweets or cakes, it reveals a beautiful inner wreath that is exposed as cupcakes are whisked away or a cake is sliced and served.
MATERIALS NEEDED
- Chafing dish shell
- Round glass to fit over top of chafing dish (mine is 9″diameter, professionally cut)
- Bird and Nest to fit base
- Small, artificial flowers
- Beads, pearls, 3 rhinestones
- Green wreath (mine is boxwood)
- Hot Glue
HERE’S HOW
- Decorate the wreath with beads and pearls
- Glue bird to nest and decorate with more beads and pearls
- Glue nest to base of dish
- Glue wreath into well of dish
- Glue glass to three handles of dish
- Glue a rhinestone to glass at top of each handle
