How to Make an Enamel Bowl Tiered Stand

I don't know about you but I'm always looking for extra storage in my craft room.
When I came across these 3 vintage emamel bowls at the thrift store I knew exactly what I wanted to do with them. That same day I found this heavy set of brass candlesticks.
I did a dry fit, but I didn't like how the centre area of the candlesticks stuck out.
So I took them apart.
Here's the second dry fit. Much better.
I spray painted the candlesticks with Krylon's Dual White paint and primer combo.
Then I used Marine GOOP adhesive to glue the candlesticks in place. I taped them temporarily with painters tape to keep them from moving while the glue cured.
And here's my finished stand. It holds all my bits of lace, ribbons etc. It's practical and pretty at the same time. This was a very easy project and many different things could be used as the bowls. The possibilities are endless really.

    This would look great on the breakfast bar with fresh fruit in bottom bowl middle bowl filled wth a variety of nuts in the shell complete with a set or two if nut crackers. The top bowl could hold assorted protein/energy bars so a healthy snack is out in plain sight and presented beautifully .
