Cake Stand DIY




Something I love to do is bake, but presentation definitely makes a HUGE difference. To help out with this  task there are a few simple supplies needed, most of which can be found at your local thrift store (how convenient!). Like most things I make, this project is totally versatile for personal preference. You can mix and match sizes, shapes, or colors for an eclectic mix. Even keep it simple and chic, or color coordinate! This little craft doesn't even have to be restricted to the kitchen, it would make a great jewelry holder or makeup stand.







Needed Supplies:
Thrift Store Finds

  • Plates (or try a bowl on top for a catch-all or dip)
  • Wine glass or candlestick
  • Glass glue (I used the kind that is dishwasher safe)
  • Heavy object to use as a weight
That is it for supplies, how simple! now on to the fun part~

Here is what to do:
  1. Make sure everything is clean and dry
  2. Measure out the center of the bottom plate
  3. Glue the rim of your wine glass (this will be the bottom) and carefully center it onto the plate, making sure to wipe any excess glue
  4. Measure out the bottom of the "top"plate
  5. Glue the top of our wine glass and place the plate on top, making sure it is centered and again wipe any excess glue
  6. Place your weight on top and let dry overnight


What kind of desserts will you be baking for these cute little stands? my obsession right now is anything and everything pumpkin!
