I have been so inspired by my fellow crafting bloggers. I took my inspiration for these trays by Julie at Joy's Hope. Her trays are colorful and festive, but I wanted something a little more sophisticated but still fun. I found a great set of plastic plates and cups at Target. I got the plates 4 for $4 and the cups were about $2 each. I used one tall and two short cups because I wanted some variation in height, but if do this again, I will go for all short glasses to make stacking easier. I didnt' take pictures at each step becuase there are really only two.
First, use fine grit sandpaper to rough up the bottom of the plate and cup. Then, glue the plate to the cup. I used E6000 glue.
Let dry, and that's it. They are ready to use.

I'm with you on loving to host partie and use all kinds of fun and pretty trays. But, like you said, the price is way too much for me. I have been getting creative with my plate stands. i find it more interesting that way.
