Tiered Platter - Christmas Style

I have made a couple of these tiered platters now and I LOVE them! So of course I had to do a Christmas version!  

The plates and the bowl are from Target and I just picked up the glass candle holders from the Salvation Army.  They are painted with Rustoleum's Colonial Red {which is actually a much better match to the red on the plates than it appears in the photo!} and glued down with Quick Grip.

I really love having the bowl on top.  It is great for holding dips for a fruit or veggie platter, chips, or crackers.

I think this would even be cute dressed up with some greenery and pine cones or ornaments for display.  

One tip for adding the candle holders: they can appear lined up one one side and not be lined up from another view. Be sure to check all the way around {or have someone else look for you!} before gluing them down.  You can find a few more tips for making these platters here.  

Simple, cute, and functional!
