DIY Cake Stand

I love to entertain and will jump at any chance to host a party!  Part of what I love about parties is decorating and presenting the food in creative ways.  Anyone who knows me well, knows I have a dish, plate or tray for almost every occasion!  My cabinets are completely full!!  When it came time to throw my daughter's birthday party, I knew exactly what theme and colors I was going with but fell short on a few items I wanted.  I 'm constantly surfing the web and have come across many sites with directions for making your own cake stands so I figured why not?  Well, let me tell you, it was so easy and so cheap I will definitely be making more!

Just go to the Dollar Store and purchase these

The glue came from Michael's Crafts (I used a coupon!)

Glue the candlestick to the dish and let the glue dry over night

Either leave as is, or simply paint it with the spray paint of your choice

It's that easy to color coordinate for any event!  I think this could become addicting!  

I used this one for some cookies

*Please note that these are not food safe because of the paint.  Simply use a doily, clear plate or in this case, paper plate on top.  As you can see, I didn't just stop at the cake stand.  The candy/cookie jars are simply a glass and candlestick!

HAVE FUN!
