Hey, hey, it's Monday!
I hope you're already starting the week
with a spring in your step.
I've seen a lot of these pretty D.I. Y. cake stands
in blogs and magazines:

via the sassy pepper

via the giver's log

I found them too irresistible, I had to
make some myself!
So I gathered up several pieces that
could potentially become a cute cake stand.
You'll see the many options all this week on my blog,
starting with this:

I got both the plate & the goblet at
a thrift store for $1.00 each.
Clean them well, then glue together
with some super glue.
Allow to dry for several hours.

TADA! A mini cake stand!
Instead of using it for food, use it for this:

A place to store your favorite accessories.
Here's another version:

The bowl is also from the thrift store and the
candle holder is from Ikea.

Glue together. Let dry.
And TADA! Another container for your baubles:

Super handy if you're a ring collector like me.

Put these on your dresser...they make your little
space look like a boutique. They act as a
fun alternative to this jewelry organizer too.
May you all have a productive week!
I love your cake stands/pretty sparkalies stands! Lovely idea!
ReplyDeleteSo pretty! I'm always tempted to buy up cake stands whenever I see them in antique stores, but this is a much more sane option.
