Strawberry themed projects with repurposed dessert cups

Who is in the mood for strawberries?!

Thrift shops are heaven on earth for creative people like myself. I constantly find new and exciting pieces of unique, vintage glassware and dishware. On one such trip a few years back, I found a couple of slightly rusted metal dessert cups, simple votive glasses with vertical ridges, and some beautiful glass dessert plates with an elegant vine design.

As soon as I saw the metal dessert cups, I knew I would create something sweet! Visions of an old-fashioned ice cream parlor and strawberry desserts slowly crept into my mind.

I played with ideas ranging from strawberry sorbet to ice cream to flowers but eventually settled on actual strawberries. I found faux strawberries on my favorite site and bought some pure white miniature roses to serve as an abstract whipped topping. I had small white doilies left over from a previous project and thought they would go well with this project.

So, the project wasn’t too challenging. I glue the white doilies (with E6000 glue) onto the plates. Once set, the dessert cups (spray-painted silver to cover the rust) and glass votive holders were also glued onto the plates. The cups were then filled with faux strawberries topped with mini roses, and a few strawberries were attached to the plates, along with the final touch of sundae spoons (found on Amazon)—all carefully glued into place and allowed to set.

The strawberries look so real!!! I’ve had people ask and touch them to make sure…

This ended up being such a charming and delicious-looking display for the kitchen!
