i love cake stands. like a lot. but something i love even more, is making cake stands! i saw on a blog long ago on how to make your own 'cake stand' and i've been hooked ever since. i have many! which by the way have come in handy for many things and even friends have borrowed them for parties. the best part is, you can make any size you want. i've seen them done so many different ways, but my favorite way to make one is, to find a PLATE and a CANDLE HOLDER. and you will need super glue. i found a super glue meant for glass. and it's worked for everything.
so recently i found these...
candle holder on the left from Goodwill for .35 cents and the candle holder on the right from Target off the clearence shelf for $1.08 regularly $19.99, boo-yah! love Target clearence!
and then i found...
two large white plates for .25 cents each at Goodwill. and the best part is they have no scratches or anything. sometimes i find plates i like but they have marks all over them, so i pass. but these were Perfect! and hello, .25 cents each!
and then...
i spray painted the candle holders Red.
and then...
i glued on the plates to each candle holder and...viola' ....a pretty cake stand! i love it! and i have two of them! i like the red and white for valentine's and it would even work for the 4th of july, but i might repaint the candle holders White later on, i think that would look cute too! but for now they will stay red. Oh and i DID NOT glue both the cake stands together, i just stacked them so you could see both of them. :)
so fun and easy! now i just need to put something yummy on them! you totally want to make one now, don't you? do it! :)
happy cake stand making!

I've seen this idea, too. Only problem is, I don't like cake. Therefore, I don't bake cakes for my guests. So selfish of me...
Happy Birth Month to you! You're gonna drag it out right? :)
Very cute. I might even have to give it a try!!!
