I bought some fittings to make some tiered plates. I've tried drilling through one plate and it snapped...has anyone made their own?

you will need a diamond tip drill bit. Usually about $20.00. Drill slow ! Adding a little cool water over the plate as you drill will help. Alternatively take your plates to a tile shop, smile and plead ignorance. The nice tile man may like to show you how clever he is and do it for you :)
Also a bit of masking tape over where you need the hole drilled. I took something similar to a glass place- cost $4 a hole, but that was a while ago now.
Once again Golden Carers has come to the rescue. I live in a retirement village and calling on my years as a Diversional Therapist I constantly use the Golden Carers for new ideas to run my group in the village. I especially love the Read Aloud Audience Participation activity and I always pick a very shy resident to take a part. It is amazing how much it brings them out of their shell. The quiz always helps keeps their minds active and gives them such a feeling of self worth when they get a correct answer.
